The purpose of this study is to investigate strengths encouraging Indian graduate students to persevere in graduate school. Positive personality resources fostering retention in academic settings described in the literature are resiliency, mature defenses, coping skills, wellness, coherence, and adaptation. Earlier research focused primarily on these resources in European-American students. Students from other cultural populations also endorse strengths including spirituality, giving back to the community, and biculturalism. Concepts originating in Rorschach and literature reviews were used to form open-ended interview questions, analyze data, and generate themes regarding the ways in which eight Indian graduate students define and demonstrate strengths. Common themes that emerged from the data included, spirituality, persistence, introspection, supportive relationships, a desire to give back, being careful, intellectualization, strength from Mother Earth and having the ability to form accurate perceptions. Unique cultural strength themes included walking in two worlds, following their sacred path, the circle of life, being non-competitive, being an oral communicator and the Navajo language. Participants also identified hurdles they experienced in graduate school and the strengths that helped them navigate school. This study provided constructive recommendations to students and academic institutions for an ameliorated quality of educational experiences to increase student comfort and potentially improve retention and graduation rates.Subjects--Topical Terms:
