PI and Co-PI: Jane Allyn Piliavin and Erica Siegl, University of Wisconsin-MadisonDoctoral Dissertation Research: Correlates and Consequences of Social Participation Across the Life CourseAbstractThis research project will examine patterns of social participation and their relationship to outcomes in the areas of education, civic engagement and health. The investigators ask the following questions: how long do high school activities influence events in adulthood? How is the influence carried out? Do different types of participation produce different effects? Does participation affect everyone in the same ways? The investigators will apply a novel set of longitudinal panel data, the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), to address these questions. The WLS data provide measures of social participation in high school, midlife and early retirement. The investigators will collect additional data for the sub-sample of the WLS participants (about 15%) who attended college in or near Wisconsin. These data will add significantly to the value of the proposed research, by informing questions about continuity of participation and mechanisms for explaining observed effects. Data collection activities will engage a team of graduate and undergraduate students and provide opportunities for a hands-on introduction to research. All new data collected using funds from this grant will eventually become available to other researchers through the public collection of data housed by the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. Results from the analyses will be disseminated through conference papers, academic publications and reports made to WLS participations. Social participation holds unique potential for addressing socioeconomic inequalities and health disparities because social participation levels are more easily changed than other influential factors, such as family background or occupational status. Therefore, understanding direct and indirect relationships with social participation supports efforts to uncover solutions for pressing issues of health and status inequalities. This study furthers such an agenda by considering the interrelationships between health, socioeconomic status, and social participation using novel panel data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study.

PI和Co-PI：Jane Allyn Piliavin和埃里卡Siegl，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校博士论文研究：生命历程中社会参与的相关性和后果摘要本研究项目将研究社会参与的模式及其与教育、公民参与和健康领域成果的关系。 研究人员提出了以下问题：高中活动对成年后的事件有多长时间的影响？ 影响力是如何发挥的？不同类型的参与会产生不同的效果吗？参与是否以同样的方式影响每个人？ 研究者将应用一组新的纵向面板数据，威斯康星州纵向研究（WLS），以解决这些问题。 WLS数据提供了高中、中年和提前退休的社会参与措施。 研究人员将收集额外的数据，为子样本的WLS参与者（约15%）谁参加了大学或附近的威斯康星州。 这些数据将通过告知有关参与的连续性和解释观察到的效果的机制的问题，大大增加拟议研究的价值。 数据收集活动将吸引一个研究生和本科生团队，并提供动手介绍研究的机会。 使用这笔赠款收集的所有新数据最终将通过威斯康星州纵向研究所收集的公共数据提供给其他研究人员。 分析结果将通过会议文件、学术出版物和向世界LS参与者提交的报告传播。 社会参与在解决社会经济不平等和健康差距方面具有独特的潜力，因为社会参与水平比家庭背景或职业地位等其他影响因素更容易改变。 因此，了解与社会参与的直接和间接关系有助于努力找到解决健康和地位不平等等紧迫问题的办法。 本研究进一步考虑健康，社会经济地位和社会参与之间的相互关系，使用新的面板数据从威斯康星州纵向研究这样一个议程。
