动机和成就方面的种族和代际差异已经得到充分证实。然而，很少有研究探讨了社会因素对不同背景的个人教育成果的作用。408拉丁美洲，亚洲和欧美学生的纵向样本，我们研究了家庭，歧视和财务因素在12年级和两年后的预测因素的持久性高中毕业后四年，并作为调解人的种族和代际差异的持久性。结果表明，家庭义务，歧视和经济负担与持续率降低，而高中GPA，SES和经济援助与较高的持续率。种族差异的持久性与高中GPA和SES，以及财务状况。因此，减少大学持续性的种族差异不仅需要关注学术因素，还需要关注可能导致大学入学困难的家庭环境。
Ethnic and generational differences in motivation and achievement have been well-established. However, minimal research has examined the role of social factors on educational outcomes among individuals from diverse backgrounds. With a longitudinal sample of 408 Latino, Asian, and European-American students, we examine family, discrimination, and financial factors in 12th grade and two years later as predictors of persistence four years after high school, and as mediators of ethnic and generational differences in persistence. Results indicate that family obligations, discrimination, and financial burdens are associated with reduced rates of persistence, while high school GPA, SES, and financial aid are associated with higher rates of persistence. Ethnic differences in persistence are related to high school GPA and SES, as well as financial circumstances. Reducing ethnic disparities in college persistence should thus involve attention not only to academic factors, but also to family circumstances that may cause college attendance to be a hardship.
