Abstract: The aim of this analysis was to evaluate if there is a relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and confidence in our educational institutions. The relationship between lower socioeconomic status and decreased generalized trust is well established (Qiang et al., 2021)(Ren et al., 2022). Attainment of higher education is directly correlated to higher SES. Children of parents with lower educational attainment have worse health outcomes and lower GPAs (Shervin Assari et al., 2019). Lower parental education also leads to overall lower outcomes–in occupation and income–for their children (Davis-Kean, 2021). Parental educational attainment has a major impact on childhood socioeconomic status (SES), and SES plays a role in the educational attainment of children. The result is a widening of the social mobility gap. To evaluate if there is a relationship between SES and confidence in educational institutions we used 2021 General Social Survey data (n=2074 applicable). We did not find a significant relationship between the variables of initial interest, however other significant findings were made that could lead to further interesting relationships.
