社区和学校是年轻人花费大量时间的两个环境，他们结交朋友，形成意见和态度，学习社交和学术技能，帮助他们度过一生。在邻里效应的文献中，学校被认为是邻里对儿童和青年产生影响的途径或机制。我们使用9897名中学生的纵向数据集来检验这一假设。我们分别估计学校和社区的影响，然后考虑青年的同时在这两种情况下的成员。在后一种分析中，邻里特征和成绩之间的关联被降低到不显著，而与学校环境的关联仍然很强，很重要。这些结果表明，学校是一个途径，通过它可以传递邻里的影响，并强调需要更好地概念化的多重和相互关联的环境，青年居住。
Neighbourhoods and schools are two contexts in which youth spend vast amounts of their time—making friends, forming opinions and attitudes, and learning the social and academic skills that help them navigate through life. In the neighbourhood effects literature, schools are theorised to be a pathway or mechanism of the neighbourhood’s influence on children and youth. We tested this hypothesis using a longitudinal dataset of 9897 secondary school students. We estimated school and neighbourhood effects separately, and then considered youths’ simultaneous membership in both contexts. In the latter analysis, the associations between neighbourhood characteristics and achievement were reduced to non-significance, while the associations with the school context remained strong and significant. These results point to schools as a pathway through which the influence of the neighbourhood may be transmitted, and underscore the need for better conceptualisations of the mutiple and interrelated contexts that youth inhabit.
