这里报告的实验使用跨越 6 岁至 19 岁的跨序列设计，测试了 New Hope（一种以就业为基础的成人贫困干预措施）对儿童参与结构化校外活动的发展模式的影响。New Hope 增加了对活动（课程、体育、宗教、俱乐部、社区中心、服务）的参与。其影响在年龄、测量时间或性别方面没有显着差异，持续时间远远超出了父母享受计划福利的资格。总体参与度在青春期早期达到顶峰，此后下降。加强童年中期参与的政策可能会带来长期好处，因为结构化活动可以提供技能发展和成人监督的机会，这对低收入家庭的儿童特别有用。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA，保留所有权利）
The experiment reported here tested impacts of New Hope, an employment-based poverty intervention for adults on developmental patterns of children’s participation in structured out-of-school activities, using a cross-sequential design spanning ages 6 through 19. New Hope increased participation in activities (lessons, sports, religious, clubs, community centers, service). Its effects did not vary significantly across age, time of measurement, or gender, lasting well beyond parents’ eligibility for program benefits. Overall participation peaked in early adolescence, declining thereafter. Policies that enhance participation during middle childhood may have long-term benefits because structured activities can provide opportunities for skill development and adult supervision that may be especially useful for children from low-income families.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
