An analysis of the achievements of a large sample (4,388) of
Wisconsin men during the 10 years following their 1957 high school
graduation focuses upon their educational attainments, occupational
achievements, and in particular, earnings, in terms of their social
origins. Analysis uses a recursive structural education model of
achievement. Seven chapters include: The Socioeconomic Achievement
Process, providing background information; The Longitudinal Study:
Data Sources and Quality, discussing methodological problems and
procedures; Socioeconomic Background, Ability, and Achievement,
applying a modified model in analyzing socioeconomic influences on the
achievements of the sample group; Social Psychological Factors in
Achievement, examining their role as variables; Colleges and
Achievement, interpreting the effects of colleges on occupation and
earnings; Post-High School Earnings: When and for Whom Does "Ability"
seem to Matter?, discussing particular circumstances; and, Summary and
Conclusions, discussing findings and future research plans. The 1957
questionnaire, the 10-year follow-up questionnaire, characteristics of
the social security earnings data, and coverage of male Wisconsin
youth in the 1957 survey are appended. Tables supplement the
discussion, and the document is indexed. It is stated that the
pattern of the achievement process elaborated on by the analysis can
be generalized to other areas, and the nation as a whole. (LH)
