这项研究使用了美国国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所的儿童早期照料和青年发展研究(n=1326)的前瞻性纵向样本，以考虑旷课与教育、社会和行为的相关性。更具体地说，这项研究考察了：(A)小学早期旷课与后来几年旷课的关系；(B)儿童教育的头十年旷课与他们15岁时的学业成绩和社会行为结果的关系程度；(C)旷课时间是否对15岁的结果有影响；以及(D)早期旷课是否通过后来的旷课对15岁的结果产生间接影响。结果表明，在儿童的整个教育生涯中，旷课情况相当稳定，尽管很少有儿童长期旷课，但早年出勤记录较差的儿童，后来的出勤率也较低。归根结底，学龄前几年的旷课与15岁时较不理想的学业和社会行为成绩有关，因为孩子们更有可能在以后的教育生涯中缺课。
This study used a prospective longitudinal sample of American children from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (n = 1326) to consider the educational, social, and behavioral correlates of absenteeism. More specifically, this study examined: (a) the extent to which absenteeism in the early elementary school years is associated with absenteeism in the later school years; (b) the degree to which absenteeism in the first decade of children's education is associated with their academic achievement and social-behavioral outcomes at age 15; (c) whether the timing of absenteeism matters for outcomes at age 15; and (d) whether early absenteeism has indirect effects on outcomes at age 15 via later absenteeism. Results indicated that school absenteeism was fairly stable throughout children's educational careers and although few children were chronically absent, children who had a weaker attendance record in the early years, in turn, had weaker attendance later on. Ultimately, absenteeism during the earliest years of school was linked with less optimal academic and social-behavioral outcomes at age 15 because children were more likely to be absent later on in their educational careers.
