Book excerpt: Abstract: The relationship between psychological well-being and self-esteem, social support, worldview, and spirituality was explored in African American and Caucasian college students. Participants were two hundred and sixty-two undergraduate students from a large predominately White Midwestern university. African Americans reported higher levels of self-esteem, positive affect, and spirituality while Caucasians reported higher levels of social support. Self-esteem was the best predictor of psychological well-being in Caucasian participants while spirituality was the strongest predictor of well-being in African American respondents. Implications for counseling students of color are discussed.
