Determinants of Parental Expectations for Children's Education and Occupation.
Usui, Wayne M.; And Others
Sociology and Social Research, v65 n4 p415-23 Jul 1981
Data analyses suggest that family social status, race, sex, and their child's ability influence parents' expectations of educational and occupational attainment for the child. Findings give some support to the notion of crystallization of parental expectations (involving formulation overtime of parental perceptions of the child's ability) for their children. (Author/CM)
