Objective.我们调查了青少年自愿协会的成员资格，以及参与这些活动是否会影响成年早期的投票行为。方法.利用1988-1994年国家教育纵向研究（NELS）的数据，对预测志愿协会成员资格和投票行为的加权逻辑回归模型进行了估计。结果我们的研究结果表明，自愿协会的成员资格因种族和社会经济地位（SES）而异。此外，在历史上植根于道德发展和公民社会化的组织的成员积极预测选民登记的状态，是否年轻人参加了第一次全国选举，他们有资格投票，但这种关系是由种族和社会经济地位缓和。结论.我们的研究结果表明，很大一部分美国青少年仍然参与社区项目，其中许多项目促进了后来的公民参与，但并非所有青少年都能平等地从参与中受益。
Objective. We investigate adolescent membership in voluntary associations and whether participation in these activities influences voting behavior during early adulthood. Methods. Weighted logistic regression models predicting membership in voluntary associations and voting behavior were estimated using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988-1994 (NELS). Results. Our findings suggest that membership in voluntary associations varies by race and socioeconomic status (SES). In addition, membership in organizations historically rooted in moral development and civic socialization positively predict voter-registration status and whether or not young adults participated in the first national election that they were eligible to vote in, but this relationship is moderated by both race and SES. Conclusions. Our findings suggest that a large proportion of U.S. teenagers still participate in community-based programs, many of which foster later civic participation, but that all youth do not equally benefit from participation.
