=== Association with family structures ===
One of the proposed partial explanations for the gap between Asian- and European-American students in educational achievement, as measured for example by the SAT,  is the general tendency of Asians to come from [[Nuclear family|stable two-parent households]].<ref name="Hsin-2014" /> In their 2018 analysis of data from the [[National Longitudinal Surveys]] of the [[Bureau of Labor Statistics]], economists Adam Blandin, Christopher Herrington, and Aaron Steelman concluded that family structure played an important role in determining educational outcomes in general and SAT scores in particular. Families with only one parent who has no degrees were designated 1L, with two parents but no degrees 2L, and two parents with at least one degree between them 2H. Children from 2H families held a significant advantage of those from 1L families, and this gap grew between 1990 and 2010. Because the median SAT composite scores (verbal and mathematics) for 2H families grew by 20 points while those of 1L families fell by one point, the gap between them increased by 21 points, or a fifth of one standard deviation.<ref name="Blandin-2018">{{Cite journal|last1=Blandin|first1=Adam|last2=Herrington|first2=Christopher|last3=Steelman|first3=Aaron|date=February 2018|title=How Does Family Structure during Childhood Affect College Preparedness and Completion?|url=https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/economic_brief/2018/eb_18-02|journal=Economic Brief|publisher=Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond|volume=18|issue=2|access-date=March 3, 2021|archive-date=February 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210213191245/https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/economic_brief/2018/eb_18-02|url-status=live}}</ref>
