Table 6 summarizes the results for countries for the seven hypotheses tested. It can be concluded that the effect of socioeconomic background on educational performance is no stronger among boys than girls. The only exception was Belgium, where the difference was not statistically significant at conventional levels.
In no country are all the hypotheses derived from the same-sex socialization model supported. Nevertheless, in about half the countries examined, aspects of the same-sex socialization model are supported to some degree: the effects of occupational status or education of the same-sex parent, usually the father, tend to be stronger. However within countries there is a lack of consistency across measures of socioeconomic background and between achievement in reading and mathematics. When occupational and educational data are combined, the effects for father’s characteristics on educational performance are stronger among boys and mother ’s characteristics stronger among girls in only a limited number of countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark and France. Even in these countries, the hypotheses are not always supported for both reading and mathematics. Therefore, there is not strong support for the model. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the same-sex socialization model is more appropriate in more traditional, or less modern, societies or that it is more appropriate for performance in mathematics than reading.
The effects of father ’s occupational status are consistent with the same-sex socialization model in a greater number of countries and the coefficient tends to be larger than is the case for mother ’s occupational status or the educational attainment of either parent. So studies in these countries in which the measure of socioeconomic background is based solely on father ’s occupation may show that the effect of socioeconomic background is stronger among boys, implying that the reproduction of socioeconomic inequalities is stronger among males. However, more comprehensive measures of socioeconomic background would show such a conclusion is not warranted.
In summary, gender differences in the effects of parental socioeconomic characteristics on student achievement are in a number of instances consistent with the same-sex socialization model. However, in the great majority of countries there is little or no gender difference in the effects of father ’s and mother ’s socioeconomic characteristics on their sons’ and daughters’ educational performance
