鼓励青少年的公民参与，因为它被假设为促进更好的公民，社会和行为结果。然而，很少有研究探讨公民参与对青年发展的长期影响。特别是，青少年的公民参与和发展之间的长期联系，少数民族青年谁是暴露于高风险因素的研究不足。使用来自芝加哥纵向研究的数据（CLS; N = 854; 56. 6%为女性; 93%为非洲裔美国人，7%为拉丁美洲人），这项研究考察了少数民族青年青少年的公民参与与成年后的结果之间的关联。回归分析发现，青少年时期的公民参与与较高的生活满意度，公民参与和教育程度有关，并且与成年后的较低逮捕率有关。研究结果表明，青少年的公民参与在影响成年后的公民和教育成果方面最具影响力。本研究有助于文献提供支持青少年公民参与和多个发展领域之间的长期协会在成年内城少数群体。
Civic engagement in adolescence is encouraged because it is hypothesized to promote better civic, social, and behavioral outcomes. However, few studies have examined the effects of civic engagement on youth development over time. In particular, the long-term association between adolescent civic engagement and development among racial minority youth who are exposed to high levels of risk factors is understudied. Using data from the Chicago Longitudinal Study (CLS; N = 854; 56.6 % were female; 93 % were African Americans and 7 % were Latinos), this study examined the associations between civic engagement in adolescence and outcomes during emerging adulthood among racial minority youth. Regression analyses found that civic engagement in adolescence is related to higher life satisfaction, civic participation, and educational attainment, and is related to lower rates of arrest in emerging adulthood. The findings suggest that adolescent civic engagement is most impactful in affecting civic and educational outcomes in emerging adulthood. The present study contributes to the literature by providing support for the long-term associations between adolescent civic engagement and multiple developmental domains in adulthood among an inner-city minority cohort.
