Abstract

The civic-minded graduate (CMG) construct provides a set of common learning objectives that can guide the design, implementation, and assessment of curricular and co-curricular civic engagement programs. The relationships of civic-mindedness with measures of various components of the CMG conceptual domain were examined in two studies. Study 1 found bivariate correlations for CMG with openness to diversity, self-efficacy, both social-change and charity orientations to service, and endorsement of the principle of care. Study 2 found CMG to be correlated with non-prejudicial attitudes and self-confidence for social behaviors. These confirmations of predicted conceptual relationships between CMG and components of its nomological network support CMG's validity and its usefulness as a superordinate educational objective for service-learning courses and programs with civic-learning outcomes. Implications for practice and future research are explored.
