The Influence of Family Composition on Children's Conformity to the Student Role.
Thompson, Maxine Seaborn; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v29 n2 p405-24 Sum 1992
How parent configuration (2-parent, mother-extended, or solo-mother) and number of siblings affect first graders' conformity to the student role was studied for 256 African-American and 228 white students. The positive effects of two-parent families may have been overestimated in previous research in which sibling effects are neglected. (SLD)
