|a Hispanic youth have higher high school dropout rates and are less likely to earn a college degree than other minority and majority groups. Identification of the factors that influence Hispanic students’ aspirations may elucidate ways to increase postsecondary educational pursuit. This study examined English proficiency, social-evaluative anxiety, and acculturation as primary predictors of students’ academic aspirations. Seventy-four middle school students enrolled in English-as-a-Second-Language classes were recruited. Students completed questionnaires on social evaluative anxiety, acculturation, and academic aspirations, and their scores on an English proficiency test were obtained from their school records. Correlation analyses showed a relationship between students’ social avoidance/distress and (1) their educational aspirations and (2) preference for speaking Spanish and engaging in Hispanic activities. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that English proficiency, social-evaluative anxiety, and acculturation accounted for 37% of the variance and that parental income and level of education accounted for 49% of the variance when controlling for those factors, but the results were not Predictors of Hispanic Adolescents’ 1 statistically significant. |
