Neighborhood context and the development of aggression in boys and girls
We examine the roles of neighborhood characteristics in the development of the aggressive behavior of 1,409 urban boys and girls between the first and seventh grades. The multilevel, longitudinal growth analyses find strong neighborhood effects in all models, while controlling for individual‐level variables. Results indicated that the effects of neighborhood violence, employment, income, and percentages of single males and female‐headed household…
The Impact of Development, the Commercialization of Agriculture, and Economic Dependency on Women's Participation in Agricultural Production
The post‐World War ? period has been one of intense development activity throughout the world. Lesser developed countries have showed significant economic growth throughout this time‐span. Among the many consequences which are attributed to development, changes in gender relations are often mentioned. However, prior research has been unable to establish conclusively how economic development is related to gender inequality, particularly as this is…
Tracking in Mathematics and Science: Courses and Course-Selection Procedures

The study found differences in course patterns available to students and the procedures used to assign students to classes. Excellent schools and districts tha…

High School Athletic Participation and Postsecondary Educational and Occupational Mobility: A Focus on Race and Gender
This study examines the impact of race and gender differences on the social mobility of high school athletes using the longitudinal, panel data of the High School and Beyond study. Regressions of educational and occupational attainment measures on sports participation were estimated for subgroups differentiated by race/ethnic status, gender, and school location (urban, suburban, and rural). It was found that participation in high school sports wa…
Effects of Interscholastic Athletic Participation on the Social, Educational, and Career Mobility of Hispanic Girls and Boys
This study examined the social, educational, and career mobility effects of interscholastic athletic participation on subsamples of Hispanic girls and boys drawn from the High School and Beyond Study (U.S. Department of Education), a 1980 national, longitudinal survey of 14,366 sophomores enrolled in 1,015 public and private schools across the United States. These same students were then contacted for follow-up data collection in their senior yea…
Developmental Effects of Athletic Participation among High School Girls
This study examined the impact of athletic participation on the academic, social, and social–psychological development of high school girls. A panel design and multistage sampling were used to assess the effect of athletic participation on perceived popularity, sex-role attitudes, psychological well-being, sociability, delinquency, academic achievement, educational aspiration, and extracurricular involvement. Data were obtained from transcript re…

Curriculum Tracking and Status Maintenance
Prior studies of the role of curriculum tracking in status maintenance have offered contradictory results, suggesting either that (1) tracking sorts children from different backgrounds into different curricular programs where they receive differential educational treatments; (2) tracking sorts children on the basis of ability rather than class background, thus facilitating social mobility; or (3) while tracking may sort children, it has little ef…

Variables Related to Resistance to Desegregation in the South
Several theories of the causes of discrimination and resistance to interracial change are examined. The proportion of nonwhites in the state and the social class composition of non-whites are found to be highly related to desegregation in southern states. The income of whites and indices of urbanization and industrialization show only a moderate relationship to desegregation, and education and occupational status of whites are slightly inversely …
