Research Behind SUVS
Research Behind SUVS
In 2021, a major research study was completed examining the relationships of critical factors impacting the success of student veterans. While other studies have explored the student veteran experience, this is the first to identify and measure acculturative stress for student veterans.
This groundbreaking research identified, tested, and measured how acculturative stress in impacting veterans' ability to be successful in post-secondary degree programs.
Until now, there has not been a national, research-based survey with the ability to measure predictors of engagement, persistence, and completion for student veterans. The goal of this survey is to begin developing this type of survey.
Surveys
Culture
Culture is powerful! All organizations are made up of cultures, and these cultures impact success (organizational change, operations, implementations, and more). Measuring culture transforms the invisible into visible.
Acculturative Stress
Acculturative stress is brought about by culture specific stressors deeply rooted in the process of acculturation. It is linked with negative health (physical and mental) outcomes. The level of stress is dependent on the distance between cultures. Â
Understanding your culture, as well as those new to your organization is critical for success!
