Relationship of Children's Ethnicity, Gender, and Social Status to Their Family Environments and School-Related Outcomes.

Majoribanks, Kevin

Journal of Social Psychology, v131 n1 p83-91 Feb 1991

Measures family environments, cognitive performance, and attitudes toward school among 700 11-year-old Australian children and their parents. Examines relationships between social categories, defined by ethnicity, gender, and social status. Finds differences in family environment and children's cognitive performance related more to ethnicity than to gender or social status. (Author/NL)
