Future outlook among African American students.
Abstract
The study examined attitudes toward the future as a potential contributor to discrepancies in school achievement among 16 low-income, urban African American adolescents. Higher achieving students expressed more positive attitudes toward the future than lower achieving students. Boys, regardless of achievement, reported negative attitudes toward the future of society and were concerned with obstacles to a positive future. Findings suggest that gender based experiences among African American adolescents may shape their attitudes toward the future and contribute to the gender gap in their achievement.
