研究一致表明，缺课对学生的成绩有不利影响。然而，由于多种风险的累积，缺课可能对社会经济地位较低的学生的成绩更为有害。使用苏格兰纵向研究（n = 3，135）的高中学生样本，我们调查了缺勤（总体，疾病和逃学）与高风险考试成绩之间的关联是否因家庭SES维度（父母教育，班级，免费校餐登记和住房）而异。总体缺勤和逃学的调查结果显示，SES组之间没有统计学显著差异。然而，病假对低SES学生的成绩比高SES学生更有害。最弱势群体和最不弱势群体之间的差异被发现在所有SES尺寸除了父母的教育。
Studies consistently show the detrimental effect of school absences on pupils’ achievement. However, due to an accumulation of multiple risks, school absenteeism may be more harmful to achievement among pupils from lower socioeconomic status (SES). Using a sample of upper-secondary students from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (n = 3,135), we investigated whether the association between absences (overall, sickness, and truancy) and achievement in high-stakes exams varied by family SES dimensions (parental education, class, free school meal registration, and housing). The findings for overall absences and truancy show no statistically significant differences across SES groups. However, sickness absences were more harmful to the achievement of lower SES students than higher SES students. Differences between the most and least disadvantaged groups were found on all SES dimensions except for parental education.
