Achievement and School Attitudes of Adolescent Boys as Related to Behavior and Occupational Status of Families

School deviants were compared to school leaders with respect to school attitudes and three types of achievement: reading, writing, and mathematics. Findings supported the notion that those who conform best to the non-academic or behavioral expectations of the school do appreciably better academically than do those who deviate. The two groups were observed to differ with respect to school attitudes. The strength of the relationship was observed to shift when occupational status controls were introduced. “Blue-collar” deviants were found to be less hostile towards the school than their “white-collar” counterparts
