Tackling Educational Inequalities with Social Psychology: Identities, Contexts, and Interventions (2020, result): “Other studies have also found that White parents in lower income households value their children’s education less, expect less from it, and tend to be less involved (Heckman, 2011; Strand, 2014; Wang & Sheikh-Khalil, 2014; Williams Shanks & Destin, 2009).”
Unfulfilled Potential: High-Achieving Minority Students and the High School Achievement Gap in Math (2017, background): “As a consequence, policy makers concerned with equity have understandably prioritized early childhood education as a means for ensuring more students enter kindergarten with the requisite prior skills (Heckman, 2011).”
Socioeconomic Status and Inequalities in Children’s IQ and Economic Preferences (2017, unknown): “33 To the extent that maternal investments can be substituted for by professional caregivers, high-quality early childcare programs might also apply here (Heckman 2011; Heckman, Pinto, and Savelyev 2013).”
Strengthening school readiness for Head Start children: Evaluation of a self-regulation intervention (2015, background): “Thus, investing in early education and school readiness interventions for disadvantaged children can level the educational and economic playing field and therefore, create a more equitable and productive society (Heckman, 2011).”
Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017, background): “…advance early childhood education programs is likely to provide many benefits for health equity because the evidence shows that disparities in development and achievement emerge early in the life course (Heckman, 2011), and thus this is a critical phase at which to intervene (Conti et al., 2011).”
Parenting style as an investment in human development (2018, background): “This indicator accounts for a broad, multi-dimensional notion of family disadvantage which is preferable to more traditional measures based on low income alone (Corak 2006; Heckman 2011; Kautz et al. 2014).”
