Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract:  While previous research has focused on differences in the status aspirations of females and males, comparatively few have analyzed the eventual educational and occupational attainment of young adults. Using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study (1988-2000), this study compares the effects of family and peer characteristics on the status attainment of females and males in their early adult lives. Overall, parental characteristics appear to have greater influence than peer attributes. Males are affected significantly by peers’ involvement in maladaptive behaviors (e.g., drinking, drugs), while females are comparatively influenced more by maternal employment. The implications of these findings are discussed.
