A Dynamic Analysis of Educational Attainment.
Temple, Mark; Polk, Kenneth
Sociology of Education, v59 n2 p79-84 Apr 1986
Traces the educational attainment experiences of 245 Pacific Northwest males aged 16-31 hypothesizing a main path of educational success coinciding with Rosenbaum's tournament metaphor. Indicates that though early academic success did not ensure later success, early academic failure strongly predicted later failure, but some unsuccessful students attained high educational levels.
