Parental SES and family support as predictors of educational level: Testing the buffering effect of effortful control and peer support.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Exposure to family risk factors increases adolescents' chances of attaining a lower educational level. However, some adolescents attain a high educational level despite being exposed to family risk factors such as a lower parental socioeconomic status (SES) or receiving less family support.
