      ab: This research, based on the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, examines differences in educational satisfaction among black and white male students in postsecondary institutions. Three types of variables are used to study these differences: student characteristics (high school ability, expectations, and self-esteem); institutional characteristics (school and program type); and academic achievement (postsecondary grades). Blacks derive greater satisfaction than whites from their educational experiences for three important reasons: they have higher self-esteem, a greater proportion are enrolled in vocational schools and programs, and they experience greater status increase when their expectations and the type of school they actually attend are compared. These three factors are associated with high educational satisfaction. School and program type per se have title direct influence upon satisfaction; their effects are mediated.
