Influence of Family Background on Scholastic Achievement

Touliatos, John; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, 46, 3, 22-7, Spr 78

The Coleman Report demonstrated that family background is correlated with achievement in school. This research examined this relationship for different sexes and social classes. Family background included whether or not a child was living with both natural parents as well as the ordinal position of the child and the number of children in the family. (Editor/RK)
