In this article, we combine insights from development psychology and educational sociology to investigate to what extent adverse youth experiences harm children’s educational attainment and how this impact varies with parents’ resources. Youth adversities as parental rejection, parental death and parental divorce are considered. We hypothesize that, on the one hand, youth adversity may hinder the intergenerational transmission of parents’ cultural resources. On the other hand, we expect that parents’ financial resources promote resilience in children and may buffer the possible impact of youth adversity. We test our hypotheses employing data from the Family Survey Dutch Population, covering 5,760 respondents. Our results suggest that all three adverse youth experiences harm children’s educational attainment. Furthermore, children who experience adversity, especially parental rejection, benefit less from their parents’ cultural resources. This supports the notion that youth adversity reduces the intergenerational reproduction of advantage. Altogether, our results emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary theoretical approach to understand the heterogeneous consequences of adverse youth experiences for educational outcomes.

青年逆境,父母资源和受教育程度:对比韧性和生殖观点

在本文中,我们结合了发展心理学和教育社会学的见解,以调查不利的青年经历在多大程度上损害了孩子的教育水平,以及这种影响如何随父母的资源而变化。青少年逆境包括父母的拒绝,父母的死亡和父母的离婚。我们假设一方面,青少年的逆境可能会阻碍父母文化资源的代际传播。另一方面,我们希望父母的经济资源能提高孩子的适应能力,并可能缓冲青少年逆境的可能影响。我们使用来自5760名受访者的家庭调查荷兰人口的数据来检验我们的假设。我们的结果表明,所有这三种不利的青年经历都会损害儿童的教育水平。此外,经历逆境,特别是父母拒绝的孩子,从父母的文化资源中受益较少。这支持了青年逆境会减少代际优势的再生产的观点。总而言之,我们的结果强调了采用多学科理论方法来了解不良青年经历对教育成果的异质后果的重要性。
