Unpacking Moderators in the Path From Parental Knowledge to Educational Attainment and Job Satisfaction: A 15-Year Longitudinal Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Educational attainment and job satisfaction are crucial milestones for a successful transition to adulthood. Parental knowledge of their adolescents’ lives may promote a positive trajectory toward such outcomes. However, the longitudinal associations between parental knowledge, educational attainment and job satisfaction might differ depending on the family context or on youth personal assets. Thus, this study examined potential moderators of these associations. The sample included 818 American youth recruited in early adolescence ( M age = 12.20 years, 46% girls, 43.5% European Americans, 27.6% African Americans, 28.9% Multiethnic or other) and followed up through adulthood ( M age = 28.93 years). Path analyses showed that parental knowledge predicts educational attainment among youth with higher academic achievement and those with lower levels of positive family relations. Parental knowledge was unrelated to job satisfaction. Results reveal the complex mechanisms through which family factors and personal assets interact while predicting a successful transition to adulthood.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
