Abstract:
| The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of how the family influences academic performance. Using Latent Growth modeling, we found ineffective parenting, parental expectations and deviant peer associations mediated the relationship between family background and older sibling academic performance. While parent variables were predictive of older sibling academic performance, this was not true for younger siblings. Our findings suggest a strong older sibling influence on younger sibling academic performance even when controlling for parental influences. A decline in older sibling academic performance places younger siblings at risk for academic failure. We demonstrate the utility of LGM methodology as an effective tool in the study of status attainment with longitudinal data. |
