Chirkina, Tatiana; Khavenson, Tatiana; Pinskaya, Marina; Zvyagintsev, Roman – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
It is well established that family socio-economic status (SES) is strongly related to academic performance. Nonetheless, there is a group of children with high levels of academic achievement who come from disadvantaged family backgrounds. These children possess what is called 'academic resilience'. In our study, we want to see whether the two…
