Abstrakt: The current study examined associations between home-school dissonance and several academic and psychological variables among 239 African American high school students. Regression analyses revealed that homeschool dissonance significantly predicted multiple academic and psychological variables, including academic cheating, disruptive classroom behavior , performance avoidant and performance approach goal orientations, and poor self-reported English and math grades. Implications of this research include a more systematic incorporation of African American high school students' out-of-school experiences into their classroom learning experiences.
