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 and Co-Pi：威斯康星大学 - 麦迪逊分校论文研究研究：Jane Allyn Piliavin和Erica Siegl研究：在整个生活中，社会参与的相关性和后果将研究社会参与的模式及其与教育，公民参与和健康领域的社会参与的模式及其与他们与距离的关系。 调查人员提出以下问题：高中活动会影响成年的事件多长时间？ 影响力如何？不同类型的参与会产生不同的影响吗？参与会以相同的方式影响每个人吗？ 研究人员将应用一组新型的纵向图数据，即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度量的衡量标准。 调查人员将收集在威斯康星州或附近上大学的WLS参与者（约15％）子样本的其他数据。 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，从而大大增加拟议研究的价值。 数据收集活动将与研究生和本科生组成，并为动手研究提供机会。 通过威斯康星州纵向研究所容纳的数据，使用该赠款资金收集的所有新数据最终将向其他研究人员提供。 分析的结果将通过会议论文，学术出版物和对WLS参与的报告进行传播。 社会参与具有解决社会经济不平等和健康差异的独特潜力，因为社会参与水平比其他影响因素（例如家庭背景或职业地位）更容易改变。 因此，了解与社会参与的直接关系和间接关系支持努力揭示紧迫健康和地位不平等问题的解决方案。 这项研究通过考虑使用威斯康星州纵向研究的新小组数据来考虑健康，社会经济地位和社会参与之间的相互关系，从而进一步加强了议程。
