Despite the broad state of research on the role of the family background in explaining differences in patterns of educational participation and school success between children and adolescents with and without a migration background in the German educational system, further needs for detailed knowledge as well as research gaps can be identified. Although three-quarters of children under the age of 18 in Germany grow up with at least one sibling as another attachment figure in the family, previous research has focused primarily on the characteristics and resources of the parents. In existing educational research, siblings have so far been mentioned mainly when referring to the abundance of children in migrant families and its negative influence on parental investment of resources and time in the education between the first- and subsequent-born children. Yet, sibling relationships have specific structural advantages and specific qualities compared to parent-child relationships for socialization influences (e.g., horizontality, longevity, the oscillation between love/trust and rivalry/competition). Furthermore, individual siblings possess educationally relevant resources that can be transmitted for educational acquisition. In particular, older siblings have a theoretical significance as role models and surrogate parents, which may be particularly evident in migratory situations, where they can potentially compensate for the disadvantages of parents in host-country-specific human capital and educationally relevant socialization conditions (e.g., lack of competence in the national language, inter-ethnic contacts, and knowledge of educational institutions) by having a lead in the educational system and acting as a bridge to the host-society context. The planned one-year research project has the overarching goal of contributing new explanatory knowledge as well as empirical findings on the educational influence of older siblings to current research on ethnic disparities in secondary education. The theoretical core of the project is the synthesis and extension of existing social class and migration-specific value-expectancy considerations of educational trajectories by the sibling perspective. Assumptions are made about independent as well as compensatory and protective effects of older siblings in association with the (migrant) parents. The empirical core of the project is the analysis of longitudinal data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The data of this household survey, which has been conducted annually since 1984, allow by its structure to link information of both, parents and older siblings, with that of respondents as well as to provide sound empirical findings that go beyond cross-sectional studies.

尽管对家庭背景在解释德国教育系统中有和没有移民背景的儿童和青少年之间的教育参与和学校成功模式差异方面的作用进行了广泛的研究，但可以确定进一步的详细知识需求以及研究差距。尽管在德国，四分之三的18岁以下儿童在成长过程中至少有一个兄弟姐妹是家庭中的另一个依恋对象，但以前的研究主要集中在父母的特征和资源上。在现有的教育研究中，到目前为止，提到兄弟姐妹的主要是移民家庭子女众多，以及这种情况对父母在教育头胎子女和二胎子女方面投入的资源和时间产生的负面影响。然而，与亲子关系相比，兄弟姐妹关系在社会化影响方面具有特定的结构优势和特定的品质（例如，水平性，长寿，爱/信任和竞争/竞争之间的振荡）。此外，个别的兄弟姐妹拥有教育相关的资源，可以传输的教育收购。特别是，年长的兄弟姐妹作为榜样和代理父母具有理论意义，这在移徙情况下可能特别明显，因为他们可能弥补父母在东道国特有的人力资本和与教育有关的社会化条件方面的不利条件（例如，由于缺乏民族语言能力、种族间接触和对教育机构的了解，在教育系统中发挥领导作用，并充当与东道国社会联系的桥梁。计划的一年期研究项目的总体目标是为目前关于中等教育中种族差异的研究提供新的解释性知识以及关于年长兄弟姐妹教育影响的经验性研究结果。该项目的理论核心是综合和扩展现有的社会阶级和移民的具体价值观，期望考虑教育轨迹的兄弟姐妹的角度。假设的独立以及补偿和保护作用的年长的兄弟姐妹与（移民）父母。该项目的实证核心是分析社会经济小组的纵向数据。自1984年以来每年进行一次的这项住户调查的数据，由于其结构，可以将父母和年长兄弟姐妹的信息与答卷人的信息联系起来，并提供超越跨部门研究的可靠的经验性调查结果。
