📈 Empirically, we find that attributional factors better explain the “perception gap” than actual unfair treatment, in particular information deficits, enrolment in the lowest school tracks, and high parental aspirations.

📚 We study whether this gap results from actual unfair treatment or from attributional factors, such as information deficits, enrolment in a stigmatized track, high parental aspiration, and pronounced “aspiration squeeze”.

💡 Based on our recently collected & novel #PerFair data on inequality perceptions among 7th-graders,
@cdiehl.bsky.social, Thomas Hinz & myself study why minority vs majority students more often perceive to belong to a higher educational track than they currently attend.

Not sure if I need a book, an online course, a master class or else to know how the system works.

Any resources you may know of are highly appreciated.
