文献记载的学术和社会功能之间的联系并不一致。这些差异可能反映了社会文化背景的调节作用。在这项研究中,我们考察了种族和性别作为这种关系的调节因子。我们收集了519名越南裔美国人和墨西哥裔美国中学生(平均年龄= 12.7岁)的同伴提名、学校记录中的GPA和自我报告问卷。使用一般线性模型,我们发现越南裔美国人的学业和社会功能与墨西哥裔美国人相比,与男孩相比,女孩的学业和社会功能有着更强的正相关。我们还研究了不同群体在成就价值观上的差异,发现越南裔美国人更有可能钦佩成就高的同龄人,并与他们成为朋友。结果表明,同龄人提供了一种背景,在这种背景下,成就价值观的种族和性别差异就会出现,旨在减少成就差距的干预措施可能会受益于对同龄人的关注。
Documented associations between academic and social functioning have been inconsistent. These discrepancies may reflect the moderating role of sociocultural context. In this study, we examined ethnicity and gender as moderators of this relation. We collected peer nominations, GPA from school records, and self-report questionnaires for 519 Vietnamese-American and Mexican-American middle school students (mean age = 12.7 years). Using general linear modeling, we found that academic and social functioning were more strongly and positively linked for Vietnamese-Americans relative to Mexican-Americans, and for girls relative to boys. We also examined group differences in achievement values, and found that Vietnamese-Americans were more likely to admire and be friends with high-achieving peers. The results suggest that peers provide one context in which ethnic and gender differences in achievement values emerge, and interventions aimed at reducing the achievement gap may benefit from incorporating a focus on peers.
