Based on the Laosa model, this longitudinal study examined relationships between family learning environments and the aspirations of 512 Australian adolescents from three occupational status groups. Adolescents' aspirations had moderate associations with parents' aspirations but only modest or negligible relations to parents' instrumental and affective orientations. (Author/BS)
