Parental Involvement Among Immigrants: Examining Group Differences of Latent Means Using Categorical Data
Jacobsen, Wade C.; Olsen, Joseph
Abstract
Bourdieu’smodel of cultural and social reproduction suggests that parents of mainstream backgrounds possess higher levels of cultural and social capital, thus magnifying their level of participation in their children’s educations. Previous studies supporting this theory, have categorized parents of racial-ethnic minorities by pan-ethnic categories (Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc.). This study is one of the first to explore parental involvement levels of parents from different nationalities.
