在两项针对5 - 12年级学生（n= 2，371; n=999）的研究中，我们根据社区服务（CS）和/或课外活动（EC）的参与模式比较了四组学生。在这两项研究中，从事CS（无论是强制性的还是自愿性的）和EC的青少年在社会资本、代际和谐和社会支持方面的报告最多，而那些既不从事CS也不从事EC的青少年的报告最少。对于大多数结果，青少年只从事CS有较高的报告比同行只从事EC。青少年在CS学到的内容分析表明，它有可能扩大他们的社区，他们的相互义务，和集体能力的同胞的认识。
In two studies of 5th-12th graders (n=2,371; n=999), we compare four groups based on engagement patterns in community service (CS) and/or extracurricular activities (EC). In both studies, adolescents who engaged in BOTH CS (whether mandated or voluntary) and EC had the highest reports of bonding and bridging social capital, intergenerational harmony, and social support whereas those who did NEITHER had the lowest. For most outcomes, adolescents engaged only in CS had higher reports than peers engaged only in EC. Content analyses of what adolescents learned in CS suggest its potential for broadening their awareness of fellow members of their communities, their mutual obligations, and collective capacities.
