Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the future-focused role image of African American youths and its relevance to their activities and achievements. The study focused on the relationship between personal and family characteristics, academic and social behaviors, and the mediating function of future-focused role image. This study tested the following hypotheses: (1) there will be a significant relationship between the total set of personal characteristics and each of the four future-focused role image variables; (2) there will be a significant relationship between lunch status and each of the four future-focused role image variables; (3) there will be a significant relationship between the set of four future-focused role image variables and in-school behaviors; {4) there will be a significant relationship between the set of four future- focused role image variables and academic behaviors (grade point average); (5) there will be a significant relationship between the set of four future-focused role image variables and out-of-school activities; (6) the future-focused role image variables will explain significant additional variance in academic and social behaviors when combined with the personal and family predictor variables.
