Other studies have documented a link between the level of education adolescents' parents have received and the adolescents' educational expectations or aspirations. For instance, Glasgow et al. (1997) found that higher levels of parental education were related to higher adolescent educational expectations in an ethnically diverse sample. This relationship was found even controlling for prior expectations and other important variables. This finding was replicated in national sample of Asian American and White students, for both mothers' and fathers' education levels, although only having a father who was a college graduate predicted a greater likelihood of expecting to attend college (Goyette & Xie, 1999).
