本研究考察了多种风险、促进和保护因素对非裔美国七年级学生 (n = 837) 的三项成绩相关指标（即平均绩点、缺勤次数和数学成绩测试成绩）的影响。有 3 个主要发现。首先，随着青少年接触风险因素的增加，他们的平均绩点较低，缺勤较多，成绩测试分数也较低。其次，根据所评估的与成就相关的结果的性质，不同的促进和保护因素成为重要的贡献者。第三，确定了保护因素，这些因素的影响在存在多种风险的情况下会被放大。根据青少年面临的发展任务以及面临多种风险的青少年及其家庭的生活环境对结果进行了讨论。
This study examined the effects of multiple risk, promotive, and protective factors on three achievement-related measures (i.e., grade point average, number of absences, and math achievement test scores) for African American 7th-grade students (n = 837). There were 3 main findings. First, adolescents had lower grade point averages, more absences, and lower achievement test scores as their exposure to risk factors increased. Second, different promotive and protective factors emerged as significant contributors depending on the nature of the achievement-related outcome that was being assessed. Third, protective factors were identified whose effects were magnified in the presence of multiple risks. Results were discussed in light of the developmental tasks facing adolescents and the contexts in which youth exposed to multiple risks and their families live.
