本文探讨了工作强度对青少年心理健康、学业成绩和行为适应的影响。每年从随机选择的1,000名九年级学生（14 - 15岁）的初始小组中收集问卷数据。与其他研究一致，工作强度较高的学生饮酒更多。这项研究的方法优势（一个代表性的小组在4年的时间内进行了前瞻性研究，损耗最小，分析包括关键控制和滞后变量）提供了强有力的证据，表明青少年工作促进了酒精使用。高强度工作对心理健康、学业成绩和其他两个行为调整指标有有害影响的论点，经不起我们严格的检验。然而，以中等强度（每周1 - 20小时）工作的高中毕业生的成绩高于每周工作更多时间的非工人和学生。
This article examines the effects of work intensity on adolescent mental health, academic achievement, and behavioral adjustment. Questionnaire data were collected yearly from an initial panel of 1,000 randomly selected ninth graders (14‐15 years old). Consistent with other studies, students who worked at higher intensity engaged in more alcohol use. The methodological strengths of this research (a representative panel studied prospectively over a 4‐year period with minimal attrition and an analysis incorporating key control and lagged variables) provide strong evidence that adolescent work fosters alcohol use. The contention that work of high intensity has deleterious effects on mental health, academic achievement, and 2 other indicators of behavioral adjustment did not withstand our stringent tests. However, high school seniors who worked at moderate intensity (1‐20 hours per week) had higher grades than both nonworkers and students who worked more hours per week.
