Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Michigan, 2003.

This thesis concerns the effects of neighborhood levels of concentrated socioeconomic status on the educational outcomes of African Americans and urban residents. Within the literature, the status of contextual influences is equally uncertain in theory, empirical studies, and among cognitive trends. Primary among the reasons for a limited understanding of contextual influences are the often inconsistent or conflicting findings of quantitative investigations and the low magnitude of the effect-sizes. These considerations foreground the analysis that seeks to answer whether neighborhood socioeconomic factors influence the educational outcomes of urban African Americans in four independent investigations.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This thesis concerns the effects of neighborhood levels of concentrated socioeconomic status on the educational outcomes of African Americans and urban residents. Within the literature, the status of contextual influences is equally uncertain in theory, empirical studies, and among cognitive trends. Primary among the reasons for a limited understanding of contextual influences are the often inconsistent or conflicting findings of quantitative investigations and the low magnitude of the effect-sizes. These considerations foreground the analysis that seeks to answer whether neighborhood socioeconomic factors influence the educational outcomes of urban African Americans in four independent investigations.
520 $a One of those investigations consists of a trends analysis of black-white achievement disparities. The analysis seeks to ascertain whether increasing structural inequality is consistent with trends within test performance, attainment and early school departure using nine national longitudinal studies. The analysis fails to support or deny any thesis as to the influence of increasing structural inequality on education outcomes.
520 $a Another analysis, a meta-analysis, synthesizes the results of a body of research that tests the same conceptual hypothesis and presents an overall effect-size estimate. In a univariate and multivariate meta-analysis of 20 studies, 64 samples and 211 effect-size estimates, the author finds large effects for the percentage of affluent neighbors, male joblessness and neighborhood deprivation. Of these results, the percentage of affluent neighbors is of the greatest magnitude. The percent African American and urbanicity are found to moderate the relation of socioeconomic factors to education outcomes. The multivariate analysis reveals the only significant effect, the presence of the affluent, is positively related to attainment, and less so to test-scores and school measures. The findings support the belief that neighborhoods can have pronounced effects and variation across neighborhoods can be a source of educational inequality.
520 $a The other two investigations are conceptual and explore problems and solutions within the estimation of neighborhood effects from the perspective of neighborhood theory in one chapter and from the perspective of educational research in the other. The final chapter concludes with recommendations for future research.
