| dc.description.abstract | The sample includes all juniors and seniors in Sweet Home High School who were present in the required social studies classes on the day the questionnaires were distributed in the spring of 1982. The questionnaires were administered by the teachers, and student participation was voluntary. Two hundred sixty two students completed the schedules. The results described below are given for students in each sex group and for two social class groups. The social class measure is developed from the students' reports of the highest level of education their mothers and fathers have attained. For the present analysis students from families where neither parent has any schooling beyond high school are termed working class (128 of the 260 students with data or 49% of the sample). Those from families where either the mother or father has some post high school training are termed middle class. It should be noted that this middle class group includes relatively few students whose mothers or fathers have graduated from college (17% of all fathers and 12% of all mothers). While the middle class students do not have an overly high status, they are those with the greatest exposure to models in the home with educational experiences beyond the secondary level. Their families might also be more likely than the others to have an orientation that extends beyond the immediate community. The results discussed below involve academic grades, residence patterns, educational and occupational aspirations, future family plans, and attitudes toward women's roles. All of the discussed results are summarized in numerical form on the attached printouts. The pages in parentheses below refer to the relevant pages on the printout. (Note that to conserve paper the page numbers on the printout do not correspond exactly to the actual pages.) | en_US |
