Multinomial Logistic Regression: Childhood Low Income Predicting Educational Aspirations and Expectations Trajectory Group

		95% CI
Trajectory Group	Exp (β)	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
Stable-low	2.25	1.06	4.80
Increaser	3.02	1.60	5.71
Decreaser	2.25	1.28	3.98

Notes: The regression was adjusted for gender, ethnicity, and early achievement score. CI = confidence interval. Stable-high group (referent, not shown) = participants who at fifth grade expected to attain at least some college and maintained their high aspirations and expectations over time. Stable-low group = participants who at fifth grade thought they were unlikely to pursue education beyond high school and who stayed relatively low in their aspirations and expectations over time. Increaser group = participants whose aspirations and expectations increased over time. Decreaser group = participants who were similar to the stable-high group at their starting point but whose educational aspirations and expectations decreased rapidly.
