Using data collected from a large sample of high school students, the authors challenge three widely held explanations for this superior school performance of Asian-American adolescents, and the inferior performance of African-and Hispanic-American adolescents: group different in (a) parenting practices. (b) Familial values about education and (c) youngsters' beliefs about the occupational rewards o/academic success. They found that White youngsters benefit from the combination of authoritative parenting and peer support for achievement, whereas Hispanic youngsters suffer from a combination of parental authoritarianism and low peer support. Among Asian-American students, peer support for academic excellence offsets the negative consequences of authoritarian parenting. Among African-American youngsters, the absence of peer support for achievement undermines the positive influence of authoritative parenting.
