Social capital and student achievement: Examining differences between Asian and White students.
Hwang, Byung-June.

Social capital and student achievement: Examining differences between Asian and White students. - 130 p.

Adviser: Mark Berends.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Vanderbilt University, 2006.

This dissertation examines ethnic differences in social capital and achievement, contributing to our theoretical and empirical understanding of social capital and differences between ethnic groups such as Asians and Whites. I analyze whether specific components of social capital within and outside the family differ between Asian and White students and whether the relationships of social capital and achievement differ between Asian and Whites. For this study, I use the base-year public-release data of the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS: 2002) and analyze a nationally representative sample of 12,220 10th grade students nested within 748 schools. Results show that compared with Asian students, White students are more likely to have higher levels of social capital both within and outside the family. In addition, multi-level analyses reveal that mathematics and reading scores are positively related to a few social capital components, particularly parent-student agreement on educational expectations. At the school level, the results indicate that higher levels of some social capital components are related to higher mathematics achievement, including family closure and knowing where students are when not at home or in school. Overall, the associations of achievement to social capital do not differ between Asian and white groups.
