本研究采用生命历程的方法来研究青少年的学业和健康相关行为。研究人员经常将学术成就和物质使用作为无关的、静态的和脱离背景的现象来研究。本研究以加州和威斯康星州(1987-1990)的2,651名高中新生为样本,运用潜在增长曲线模型,将成绩和物质使用视为动态轨迹,相互关联,并受到邻近和结构背景的影响。一般来说,在高中开始时成绩很高,然后下降。这种下降趋势是由非运动员男性推动的。药物使用量最初很低,然后增加,男孩推动了这一增长。最后,学术和健康相关的轨迹在运动员中最相关,他们经历了危险的健康相关行为的长期学术后果。总的来说,性别运动状态可以作为保护或风险因素,这取决于行为和时间的角度。
This study takes a life course approach to adolescent academic and health-related behavior. Researchers have often studied academic achievement and substance use as unrelated, static, and de-contextualized phenomena. Applying latent growth curve modeling to a sample of 2,651 high school freshmen and sophomores in California and Wisconsin (1987-1990), this study treats achievement and substance use as dynamic trajectories, inter-related to each other, and influenced by proximate and structural contexts. In general, achievement is high at the start of high school and then declines. This downward trend is driven by male non-athletes. Substance use is initially low and then increases, with boys driving this increase. Finally; academic and health-related trajectories are most related among athletes, who experience long-term academic consequences from risky health-related behavior. Overall, gender-athletic status can serve as either protective or risk factor, depending on the behavior and the temporal perspective.
