这项研究比较了5种理论预测高中10年级前辍学的充分性。这些理论包括学业成就的完全中介和与一般偏差、偏差关系、家庭社会化和结构性紧张相关的直接影响。嵌套的潜变量模型被用来测试这些理论的前瞻性数据，从一个种族多元化的城市样本。学习成绩差介导的影响，所有独立因素的辍学，虽然一般偏差，绑定到反社会的同龄人，社会经济地位也保留辍学的直接影响。因此，没有一个测试的理论是完全足够的解释数据，虽然每个理论都得到了部分支持。预防早期高中辍学的影响进行了讨论。
This study compared the adequacy of 5 theories to predict dropping out of high school before the 10th grade. These theories include full mediation by academic achievement and direct effects related to general deviance, deviant affiliation, family socialization, and structural strains. Nested latent variable models were used to test these theories on prospective data from an ethnically diverse urban sample. Poor academic achievement mediated the effect of all independent factors on school dropout, although general deviance, bonding to antisocial peers, and socioeconomic status also retained direct effects on dropping out. Therefore, none of the theories tested was fully adequate to explain the data, although partial support was obtained for each theory. Implications for prevention of early high school dropout are discussed.
