Some Determinants of Scholastic Performance in Urban Iceland.
Thorlindsson, Thorolfur; Bjornsson, Sigurjon
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v23 n4 p155-67 1979
Using data on 1,438 Reykjavik children, this paper analyzes the influence of social origins, family characteristics, and IQ on scholastic performance in sixth, eighth, and ninth grades. Although IQ is the best single predictor of scholastic performance, both social structural and social psychological antecedents proved important. (Author/SJL)
