Gender Differences in Risk and Protective Factors Among Youth With EBD: Findings From the NLTS2

Abstract: Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2), we examined risk and protective factors associated with post-secondary outcomes among youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Results indicate that, compared to their male peers, females with EBD demonstrated higher levels of social and behavioral skills and higher grades. We also discovered discrepancies between teacher reports and female students’ self-reports of academic, social, and behavioral competencies, suggesting female… Show more

“…The working definition of resilience is to be successful even with the presence of high risk and the knack to overcome adversity (Novak et al 2019). As mentioned in the introductory part of this study, COVID-19 is accompanied by misinformation, causing psychological disturbances; the current outbreak is directly coupled with severe health problems.…”

“…We also hypothesized students with EBD with more social competence and school engagement would be more likely to participate in ECA because social competence is important for remaining in ECA and feeling connected to the school may increase a student’s interest in school-based ECA (Bedard et al, 2020). We examined different moderators of the relation between social competence, school engagement, and ECA because we hypothesized females would have more social competence than males (Novak et al, 2020), White students would be more connected to school (Joyce & Early, 2014), and students receiving special education services with EBD would have lower social competence and school engagement (Kauffman & Landrum, 2018; Marsh et al, 2019). Last, we hypothesized increased participation in ECA can increase students’ social competence and school engagement through opportunities to be part of a team and work together toward common goals, among other noted benefits of ECA (Bedard et al, 2020).…”

“…Finally, girls’ initial performance levels and growth rates have been shown to exceed those of boys (McMaster et al, 2017). Although all of these are important considerations, boys are more frequently identified with EBD (Novak et al, 2020). As such, this will be a particularly important consideration when setting goals for this population of students.…”
