Sibling and environmental correlates of young adults' status attainment.
This study used longitudinal data to investigate associations among sibling-related variables, adolescents' perceptions of family and school learning environments, and social-status attainment measures, for 300 young Australian adults from different social-status groups. The findings indicated that: (a) sibling-related variables continued to have a number of significant associations with young adults' social-status attainment after taking into account mediating relationships between adolescents' learning environments and the attainment measures, and (b) these relationships between sibling and attainment measures varied for young adults from different social-status groups.
