使用定量和定性数据，本研究探讨了参与行动公民干预的影响，一代公民（GC），公民承诺，公民自我效能，和两种形式的公民知识。样本包括617名初中和高中学生在55个教室谁参加，或即将参加，一代公民。分层线性模型显示，参与公民一代与公民知识和公民自我效能的积极收益有关。定性编码确定了三种类型的项目特征，捕捉学生选择完成的行动项目的可变性：上下文，内容和与决策者的联系。项目特征和参与GC之间的相互作用揭示了公民成果的差异取决于项目的特点。
Using both quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined the effect of participating in an action civics intervention, Generation Citizen (GC), on civic commitment, civic self‐efficacy, and two forms of civic knowledge. The sample consisted of 617 middle and high schools students in 55 classrooms who participated, or were soon to participate, in Generation Citizen. Hierarchical linear models revealed that participating in Generation Citizen was associated with positive gains in action civics knowledge and civic self‐efficacy. Qualitative coding identified three types of project characteristics that captured variability in the action projects student chose to complete: context, content, and contact with decision makers. Interactions between project characteristics and participation in GC revealed differences in civic outcomes depending on project characteristics.
