Abstract

This study examines the association between college-bound friends and college enrollment using restricted transcript data from the High School Longitudinal Study. Propensity score matching and school fixed effects models suggest that having close college-bound friends is positively associated with enrolling in college. However, Black and Latino male students are much less likely to benefit from having college-bound friends than others, suggesting that structural and cultural factors that are tied to race, ethnicity, and gender may limit the beneficial potential of friends, especially for these male Black and Latino students. Implications for addressing racial and ethnic disparities in college enrollment and for the role of friends in college enrollment decisions are discussed.

大学生朋友在种族、民族和性别的大学入学决定中的作用
本研究使用来自高中纵向研究的限制性成绩单数据来检验即将进入大学的朋友与大学入学之间的关系。倾向得分匹配和学校固定效应模型表明,拥有亲近的大学朋友与大学入学率呈正相关。然而,黑人和拉丁裔男性学生比其他人更不可能从大学朋友中获益,这表明与种族、民族和性别相关的结构和文化因素可能会限制朋友的有益潜力,尤其是对这些黑人和拉丁裔男性学生。讨论了解决大学招生中的种族和民族差异以及朋友在大学招生决策中的作用的含义。
