Abstract

Do social mobility (SM) estimates change when moving beyond the “average American” to include ethnicity/race, social class, and critical consciousness (CC)? We found over- or underemphasizing the opportunity for a target child’s upward SM depending on participant’s own and target child’s ethnicity/race and social class, and on participant’s CC.
