在这项随机选取的10,318名威斯康星州高中毕业生的研究中,相关性、路径和交叉表格分析表明,社会经济地位、智力和父母的鼓励都与男性和女性的大学计划有着实质性的独立关系,无论是智力还是父母的鼓励,都不能完全解释大学计划中的社会阶层差异。然而,它证实了其他研究人员使用不太严格的方法和不太具有代表性的样本所提出的主张,即父母的鼓励是社会经济阶层背景和儿童的智力及其教育愿望之间的一个强大的干预变量。父母的鼓励似乎有其最强的影响,男性和女性谁得分相对较高的智力和来自家庭占据相对较高的社会经济地位的大学计划。此外,无论父母是否鼓励,能力继续突出男女在抱负方面的社会阶层差异。
In this study of a randomly selected cohort of 10,318 Wisconsin high school seniors, correlational, path, and cross-tabular analyses show that socioeconomic status, intelligence, and parental encouragement all have substantial independent relationships to college plans of males as well as of females and that neither intelligence nor parental encouragement-individually or jointly-can completely account for social class differences in college plans. It substantiates, however, the claim made by other investigators using less rigorous methods and less representative samples that parental encouragement is a powerful intervening variable between socioeconomic class background and intelligence of the child and his educational aspirations. Parental encouragement appears to have its strongest effect on the college plans of males and females who score relatively high on intelligence and come from families occupying relatively high socioeconomic position. Also, ability continues to accentuate the social class differences in aspirations of both males and females regardless of parental encouragement.
