This article examines the consequences of being in a technical/vocational track for the global self-esteem of adolescents, with special attention to gender. The t-tests and multilevel analyses were performed with data from 3,720 Flemish fifth-year pupils-2,404 boys and 1,316 girls-in 33 secondary schools: 19 technical/vocational schools and 14 general schools. The analyses show that girls have significantly lower self-esteem than boys and that this gender effect suppresses a track effect. Analyses performed separately for boys and girls demonstrate that boys in technical/vocational schools have a significantly lower self-esteem than boys in general schools, but the analyses for girls show no difference for school type. Theoretical possibilities offer explanations for this gender difference in the consequences of being in a technical/vocational versus general track.

This study explores the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and the computer-use profile of 1241 school students in Flanders, the northern region of Belgium. More specifically, the article examines whether varying patterns of computer access, attitudes, competencies and uses can be seen as constituting differences in cultural capital. Additionally, gender was included in the survey as an important background characteristic in digital divide research. Path analysis was used to model the complex relationships between the influencing factors upon the ICT-related variables. What emerged from the analyses was that SES affects the computer-use profile only moderately. No relationship between SES and computer ownership was found. Moreover, the acquisition of ICT competencies can no longer be attributed to computer ownership. Apart from a small effect on ICT use (a higher SES tends to be associated with more ICT use), SES does not seem to affect the computer-use profile of young people in Flanders. The results of this study indicate that the existing differences in SES on computer-use profile are not sufficiently marked to deduce that ICT can be seen as an indicator of differing cultural capital.

“…Certainly the effects of recent parental divorce on adolescents extend to areas of functioning outside the home, particularly to school where behavioural and academic functioning can be disrupted. Various attempts to identify causative mechanisms indicate that it is inter-parental conflict rather than the fact of divorce itself which affects school functioning (Forehand, Middleton & Long, 1987;Forehand, McCombs, Long, Brody & Fauber, 1988;Forehand et al, 1991). Overall, the effects of divorce on social and psychological functioning as reported by teachers are small with no significant gender difference emerging (as in Allison & Furstenberg, 1989) though in this study a relative absence of measures of conduct disorder may underestimate male disturbance.…”
