This study examined relationships between the economic, human, social, and cultural capital of families and adolescents' academic achievement. Data were collected from 387 14-yr.-old Hong Kong students (187 girls, 200 boys), who completed questionnaires to assess their perceptions of the various dimensions of family capital. Academic achievement was measured by performance in Chinese language, English language, and mathematics. The findings indicated that different combinations of the dimensions of family capital combined to contribute to moderate amounts of variance in adolescent girls' academic performance, whereas social capital was the only family measure to have a meaningful and significant modest association with adolescent boys' academic achievement.
本研究考察了家庭的经济、人力、社会和文化资本与青少年学业成绩之间的关系。数据收集自387名14岁的香港学生（187名女生，200名男生），他们完成了问卷调查，以评估他们对家庭资本各个维度的认知。学业成绩通过语文、英语和数学成绩来衡量。研究结果表明，家庭资本各维度的不同组合共同导致了青少年女孩学业成绩的适度差异，而社会资本是唯一与青少年男孩学业成绩有有意义且显著适度关联的家庭指标。
