以230名城市大学生为被试，考察了课程努力和课外活动(家庭、工作、社会活动)对学习成绩的影响。在一个学期中收集了工作时间、社交和家庭活动以及课程努力的多项测量数据。路径模型显示，累积GPA和课程努力对年级有显著且独立的预测路径。课外活动对课程成绩没有直接影响。然而，工作活动通过减少课程努力间接影响课程成绩，并通过GPA对课程成绩的影响起到中介作用。因此，作业需求减少了课程努力，降低了以GPA为指标的课程成功的潜力。累积GPA对努力有正向影响，而努力在累积GPA与年级之间的部分关系中起中介作用。
The influences of course effort and outside (family, job, social) activities on grades earned in a college course were examined for 230 urban college students. Multiple measurements of hours of work, social and family activities, and course effort were collected over a semester. Path modeling revealed that cumulative GPA and course effort had significant and independent predictive paths with grades. Outside activities did not directly influence course grade. Job activities, however, negatively influenced course grade indirectly through reduced course effort and mediated the influence GPA exerted on course grade. Thus, work demands lessened course effort and lessened GPA-indexed potential for course success. Cumulative GPA positively influenced effort, and effort mediated part of the relation between cumulative GPA and grades.
