Race and Academic Disidentification.
Osborne, Jason W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n4 p728-35 Dec 1997
Data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 were examined to study the disidentification of African American and other minority students with academics. African American boys in general remained disidentified through grade 12, but no other group demonstrated significant disidentification, and identification did not appear to vary across content areas.
