作者利用国家教育纵向研究的数据，研究了青年时期的教育、公民和职业成功与高中期间参与有组织活动的持续时间和强度之间的关系。他们还研究了这些关系作为赞助的函数（即学校与社区赞助的有组织活动）。他们发现，参加有组织活动两年的青少年比参加一年的青少年在成年后表现出更有利的教育和公民成果。更深入的参与还与青年时期更大的教育、公民和职业成功相关——尤其是参加活动两年的青少年。教育程度常常调节参与的时间测量与年轻人的公民和职业结果之间的关系。除了对职业成功的分析外，赞助的结果变化不大。值得注意的是，分析显示，参与的两种时间测量与高中毕业后长达 8 年的年轻人的结果呈正相关。
Using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study, the authors examined relations between educational, civic, and occupational success in young adulthood and the duration and intensity of participation in organized activities during high school. They also examined these relations as a function of sponsorship (i.e., school- vs. community-sponsored organized activities). They found that youths who participated in organized activities for 2 years demonstrated more favorable educational and civic outcomes in young adulthood than those who participated for 1 year. More intensive participation was also associated with greater educational, civic, and occupational success in young adulthood-particularly among youths who participated in activities for 2 years. Educational attainment often mediated the relations between temporal measures of participation and young adult civic and occupational outcomes. With the exception of analyses examining occupational success, findings varied little as a function of sponsorship. Of note, analyses revealed that both temporal measures of participation were positively associated with young adult outcomes as many as 8 years after high school.
