| Abstract | To examine the relationship between parental involvement and college enrollment, this study draws on the work of Bourdieu (1986), Coleman (1988), and Lin (2001a, 2001b) to conceptualize parental involvement as a form of social capital that provides individuals with access to resources that may facilitate college enrollment. The conceptual model recognizes, as Bourdieu (1986) and Lin (2001b) suggest, that an individual's action (e.g., college enrollment) cannot be fully understood except in terms of the structural context. The structural context is defined in terms of the characteristics of the high school attended: specifically, the extent to which the school encourages parental involvement, the volume of resources that may be accessed via social networks at the school, and the homogeneity of the social networks at the school. As suggested by the underlying theoretical perspectives, the multilevel multinomial analyses show that the likelihood of enrolling in a 2-year or 4-year college depends not only on an individual student's parental involvement but also on the volume of social and other forms of capital that may be accessed via social networks at the school. The analyses also show that the relationship between college enrollment and parental involvement is different for African Americans than for other high school graduates. This article concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for college preparation programs. (Contains 2 notes.) (ERIC). |
