Abstract	This study investigated how experiences in the family context contribute to the postsecondary educational attainment of Mexican American youth. The sample consisted of 104 recent high school graduates. One half of the sample was attending a 2-year college, and the other one half was not enrolled in any postsecondary institution. This study examined the relationships among family (i.e., parents' and older siblings' educational experiences, family income, and parental involvement) and education variables (i.e., high school and college grade point average, college attendance, and college aspirations). Variations within the Mexican American community, in particular acculturation and generational status, were examined in relation to youths' educational experiences. [Some of these findings were reported in a dissertation by the first author as part of the requirements for a doctoral degree in developmental psychology at the University of California, Riverside. An earlier version of this study was reported at the conference of the American Psychological Society in Toronto, Canada, June 2001.] (Author).
