Objective: Investigate the association of positivity with generalized anxiety and the mediating roles of resilience and sense of belonging in underrepresented college students. Participants: College students (N = 425; 18.4% White, 17.9% Black, 40.2% Hispanic, 20.2% Asian; 38.1% first-generation; M age = 19.06; 63.1% female) completed an online survey assessing positivity, anxiety, resilience, and belonging. Methods: Path analysis tested the proposed mediation model, controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, first-generation status, living status, and diagnosed disability. Results: Positivity was negatively associated with anxiety directly (ƅ = −.468, p <.001) and indirectly through resilience (ƅ = −.083, p <.001), but not through belonging (ƅ = −.026, p >.05). Positivity was associated with belonging (ƅ =.611, p <.001); belonging was not associated with anxiety (ƅ = −.042, p >.05). Conclusions: Findings highlight the benefit of positivity on anxiety and the mediating role of resilience among underrepresented college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
