I think it's definitely to do with parenting, probably goes beyond parents income though.
Social environment kids grown up in: parenting skills, friends/ppl kids grow up with (social/economics) and expectations of the environment plays a part as well.
When someone sais it's culture, you'd have to include cultural expectations from the environment ppl grow up in, as well as the importance of learning within the cultural environment ppl grow up in.
for Asians, this is higher than for white ppl, for Hispanics and Afros it's lower, in general.
Ofc it's different from person to person, hence, we should not focus too much on it, or expectations of the environment will drop making it a self fulfilling prophecy.
