論文It is well known that family environment greatly affects educational attainment, but little is known about the family environments. This study investigates the effects of family environment, excluding family background (social origin) and family structure (sibling configuration), on educational attainment. This analysis uses four variables as an index of family environment: degrees of parents' enthusiasm for education, warmth of the home, and frequencies of having breakfast and brushing teeth. A multi-regression analysis using JLPS (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey) revealed that parents' high enthusiasm for education and high frequency of having breakfast positively affect students' school record (self-evaluation of scholastic performances at junior high school) and educational attainment, but warmth of the home negatively affects school record. Further, the frequency of brushing teeth has no effect, and students' school record has a positive effect on educational attainment. Thus, the results suggest that family environment directly and indirectly affects educational attainment via school records.
