Subject Area: Developmental

We examined social class discrimination as a new way of understanding the association between social class and academic achievement among adolescents. There were 1,558 participants (Mage = 16.17). Results indicated that social class discrimination was inversely associated with academic achievement and that teachers and classmates were particularly important sources.
