Wilson-Sadberry, Karen R.; And Others
Education and Urban Society, v24 n1 p87-102 Nov 1991
High School and Beyond data for 1,332 male and 1,608 female African Americans indicate that several domains of influence help predict African-American males' postsecondary educational attainment. Family socioeconomic status, educational plans, father's influence, and peer influence are important predictors and indicate areas where student resilience and persistence can be enhanced. (SLD)
