An intergenerational model of the process by which family factors contribute to the achievement gap was also tested. The results showed that the ethnic gaps in socioeconomic status (SES) and achievement had significantly reduced over the past few generations. Moreover, measures of grandparent SES, mothers' achievement, parent SES, and a comprehensive set of reliable parenting practices explained all of the ethnic differences in achievement scores. Parenting practices such as creating a school-oriented home environment, allowing adolescents to make decisions, and not burdening them with too many chores had particularly important effects on the achievement gap. The authors conclude that adjusting for these differences would eliminate the ethnic achievement gap. |

Do African American Mothers Really "Love" Their Sons and "Raise" Their Daughters? Journal of Family Psychology 24,1 (February 2010): 41-50. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0893320010600062 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Behavioral Differences; Behavioral Problems; Bias Decomposition; Black Family; Black Studies; Gender Differences; Siblings; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction This study assessed 1500 adolescents from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth to test the hypothesis that African American mothers differentially socialize their girls and boys. The results showed that later-born boys had fewer chores, argued more with their mothers, lived in less cognitively stimulating homes, and were not allowed to make the same decisions as were the girls or firstborn boys at the same age. The later-born boys were also lowest in achievement and highest in externalizing behaviors. Parenting differences accounted for the achievement differences but not for the externalizing behavior differences. It was concluded that the later-born boys would achieve at the same rates as their siblings if they were socialized in the same manner as their siblings. |
