520 |a Ambitions for social mobility among rural southern Blacks and their influence on out-migration trends were explored in this analysis. Data utilized were collected as part of a more comprehensive study of living patterns among disadvantaged families. In the summer of 1970, samples of Black, female adults were drawn from 2 rural villages and a town of about 5,000 inhabitants in a nonmetropolitan county of East Texas. The total sample numbered 52 village and 207 town homemakers. The data indicated that, in general, level of educational aspiration had little impact on desire for rural out-migration. It was observed that those desiring high levels of education (i.e., more than high school) were slightly more inclined to want to remain in the area. While differences were not statistically significant, this evidence was in direct contradiction with the original proposition that aspirations for higher education would be positively associated with rural out-migration. It was further concluded that, except for age and certainty of educational aspiration, family income and subjective income status had little influence on desire for out-migration. (HBC)
