Students' Characteristics and the Peer-Influence Process
Abstract
Relying on Parsons's conceptualization of the influence process and using 20,000 friendship dyads from the High School and Beyond survey, the authors examine how characteristics of students and of students' close friends affect the students' college aspirations and attendance. This article describes their study, which focused on whether differences in the ascribed and achieved characteristicsgender, race, and other background characteristics, as well as track placement in high school-result in different peer-influence processes. It was found that the influence of close friends on educational aspirations and outcomes varies with the racial and gender composition of the friendship and that interracial friendships are beneficial to the aspirations of both black and white students.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
