Sex Differences in Educational Aspirations and Expectations
Marini, Margaret Mooney; Greenberger, Ellen
American Educational Research Journal, 15, 1, 67-79, W 78
Goals for educational attainment were studied in eleventh grade students. The males aspired to and expected higher levels of attainment. At higher aspiration levels, the discrepancy between aspiration and expectation was greater for females. Both socioeconomic background and academic ability had a greater effect on educational ambition for males. (Author/GDC)
