국문초록

This study builds on economic and sociological perspectives and investigates how forms of capital (i.e., economic, cultural, and social capital) and habitus shape the college-choice process. Using the Education Longitudinal Study (ELS:2002), this study utilizes multinomial logistic regression with fixed effects. The findings indicate that differences exist in how the various forms of capital and proxies for habitus are associated with college choice. The results further reveal distinctly different patterns regarding the relationship among forms of capital and differential impact of habitus by race/ethnicity. Possible explanations for the results and the implications of the findings are discussed.

본 연구는 경제학적, 사회학적 관점을 통합적으로 고찰하면서, 경제, 문화, 사회자본 및 아비투스가 학생들의 대학 선택 과정(대학에 가는지 여부, 대학에 간다면 어느 정도 수준 의 대학에 가는지 여부)에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 대표적인 종단 연구 데이터(Education Longitudinal Study)를 사용하면서 11,800명의 고등학생을 대상으로 다항 로짓분석을 수행한다. 본 연구의 주제는 크게 3가지로 구분된다. 먼저, 다양한 자본 유형들과 아비투스가 학생들의 대학 선택 과정에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 또한, 하나의 자본 유형이 다른 자본 유형의 역할을 강화시키는 정도를 분석한다. 끝으로 다양한 자본 유형과 아비투스의 영향이 학생들의 사회 경제적 배경에 따라 달라지는지 여부를 분석한 다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 자본 유형이나 아비투스가 학생들의 대학 선택 과정에 동일한 영향을 미치는 것은 아니라는 것을 실증적으로 분석한다. 경제자본, 사회자본, 아비투스는 학생들의 대학 선택 과정에 직접적, 긍정적 영향을 미치는 반면에 문화자본의 영향은 다 소 다른 양상을 보인다. 본 연구는 자본 유형들간 관계에 대해 두 가지 뚜렷한 패턴을 나 타낸다. 한 유형의 자본이 다른 유형의 자본의 역할을 강화시키기도 하는 반면에, 일부 자 본 유형은 다른 자본 유형의 역할을 오히려 약화시키기도 하는 것으로 분석된다. 아비투 스의 영향의 경우 사회 경제적 배경에 따라 차이가 나타나지는 않으나, 인종에 따라서는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타낸다. 구체적인 분석 결과 및 함의는 논문에서 보다 더 심도 있게 서술 된다.
