“…Attachment to the school was found to be more strongly predicted by the relationship the adolescent had with their parent and their peers. This study supports Liska and Reed (1985) findings that the bond with the parent to be strongly correlated with whether or not an adolescent would stay in school. These findings further show the impact attachment style has on success in school.…”

Adolescents in America are dropping out of school in alarming rates. In the school year [2009][2010] 514,238 adolescents dropped out of high school. While alternative education centers have been created to meet the needs of these individuals, they are not always successful as evidenced by a graduation rate below 5% in several alternative centers in Florida. Previous studies have shown that students with a positive attachment style have higher grade point averages (GPA) and perform better in school. This study determined the attachment rate of students in an alternative center and performed a correlation with GPA. The results of this study showed there was no significant correlation between attachment style and GPA (p = .297). Caution is advised to draw a firm conclusion as participating students may have benefited from services put in place that could have amended their attachment style. It is recommended this study be replicated with students as they enter the alternative education center before exposure to services.

Simultaneous Feedback Models with Macro-Comparative Cross-Sectional Data

Social scientists often work with theories of reciprocal causality. Sometimes theories suggest that reciprocal causes work simultaneously, or work on a time-scale small enough to make them appear simultaneous. Researchers may employ simultaneous feedback models to investigate such theories, although the practice is rare in cross-sectional survey research. This paper discusses the certain conditions that make these models possible if not desirable using such data. This methodological excursus covers the construction of simultaneous feedback models using a structural equation modeling perspective. This allows the researcher to test if a simultaneous feedback theory fits survey data, test competing hypotheses and engage in macro-comparisons. This paper presents methods in a manner and language amenable to the practicing social scientist who is not a statistician or matrix mathematician. It demonstrates how to run models using three popular software programs (MPlus, Stata and R), and an empirical example using International Social Survey Program data.

“…Cross-sectional studies link weak school attachment with delinquency, cigarette-smoking, emotional distress, suicidal behavior, violence, substance use, and early sexual activity (Bonny, Britto, Klostermann, Homung, & Slap, 2000 ;Cernkovich & Giordano, 1992 ;Gottfredson, Wilson, & Najaka, 2002 ;Jenkins, 1997 ;Liska & Reed, 1985 ;Resnick et al, 1997 ;Resnick, Harris, & Blum, 1993 ;Welsh, Greene, & Jenkins, 1999 ) . In fact, some scholars maintain that school attachment has a stronger association with absenteeism, delinquency, polydrug use, and pregnancy than other factors, including attachment to family (Resnick et al, 1993(Resnick et al, , 1997 .…”

The Impact of Schools and Education on Antisocial Behavior over the Lifecourse

Lifecourse/developmental (LCD) perspectives and theories have gained a prominent role in the examination of antisocial behavior over the last two decades. However, much of this work does not thoroughly investigate the in fl uence of schools and education. Although there is a large body of work investigating school-related risk factors of antisocial behavior, an area of research that aligns well with the LCD perspective, education is not a primary focus in the majority of the established LCD theories. In addition, there is little work that examines the role of schools and education through a general LCD lens. This chapter will review the research that has been conducted in each of these areas and discuss possible directions for future theoretical and methodological analysis of antisocial behavior within the LCD perspective.
