Results of online survey experiment show that on factual questions, less-educated people are more strongly influenced by highly-educated outgroup individuals than by less-educated ingroup individuals. On opinion questions, status orientation & ingroup orientation are about equal.

People are influenced by members of high-status groups & members of their ingroup. Are lower-status people more influenced by members of higher-status outgroups or by members of their lower-status ingroup? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Analysis of longitudinal data from China reveals a hidden form of education inequality: low-SES parents not only hold lower educ expectations but are more likely to decrease their expectations when child academic performance declines, which further reduces their educ involvement.

The link between parental educational expectations & children’s educational outcomes is well-established in the literature. This study addresses how parental expectations respond to children’s academic performance. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ShenWensong
