dc.description.abstractParents and friends are important influences on adolescents- academic outcomes. We examine whether and how adolescents- social networks compensate for or enhance the effects of their parents- education on academic outcomes. Among a large ethnoracially diverse sample of high school students in the Southwestern (N = 2,136) and Midwestern (N = 1,055) United States, results from network autocorrelation models showed that higher levels of mother and father education were related to greater academic self- efficacy and engagement and higher aspirations, expectations, and grade point averages at both schools. Friends- parents- education levels were positively associated with adolescents- academic aspirations, expectations, and grade point averages across all of the models; higher levels of friends- parents- education were related to greater academic self- efficacy across all models, except for mothers in the Southwest; and friends- fathers- education levels were positively related to adolescents- academic engagement for students in the Midwestern school only. There were no significant interaction effects between parents- and friends- parents- education levels in predicting academic outcomes. Differences in the distribution of parental education across ethnic- racial groups shaped the implications of the model for adolescents- academic adjustment. Findings highlight the impact of educational opportunity across generations in shaping academic inequities.
