项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this competing renewal application is to examine pathways to high school completion in a sample of 6000 students who are currently being followed across the three years of middle school. The large sample is very ethnically diverse: about 30% Latino, 20% White, with the remaining 50% approximately evenly divided between African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and youth who identify as multiethnic. The sample was recruited in three cohorts from 26 middle schools in southern and northern California that systematically varied in ethnic diversity. Longitudinal data from 6th-8th grade are being gathered on students' social and academic adjustment to test hypotheses about the psychosocial benefits and challenges of ethnic diversity in urban middle schools. It is anticipated that the students will transition to close to 100 high schools that also vary in ethnic diversity. Using the rich middle school data as a starting point, this application will examine the high school transition and pathways to high school completion as a developmental process. Data assessing constructs studied during middle school and new constructs more unique to the high school years will be gathered on the same students from 9th-12th grade and one year beyond. The high school pathways phase of the research has three specific aims. Aim 1 examines how middle school social and academic history predicts the degree to which the critical 9th grade transition is smooth versus disruptive. Aim 2 examines pathways, or mediating mechanisms, to high school completion focusing on three developmental competencies: academic achievement, mental health, and civic engagement. Novel hypotheses are tested about the ways in which school ethnic diversity shapes each developmental pathway. Aim 3 examines individual risk factors, such as obesity and sexual orientation, and systemic school risk factors, such as harsh discipline, that can disrupt successful pathways. By capitalizing on an existing longitudinal sample, the long-term goal of this research is provide new insight into the challenges that adolescents of color face as they navigate urban middle schools and high schools that vary in ethnic diversity as well as the mechanisms that promote strong academic preparation, mental health, and civic engagement in all youth on the brink of young adulthood. The focus on ethnic diversity across middle and high school is especially timely in a society where changing demographics are redefining the meaning of successful adaptation during the critical adolescent years.

描述（由申请人提供）：此类竞争续约申请的目的是检查高中完成的途径，以6000名学生的样本，这些学生目前在中学的三年中受到关注。大型样本在种族上非常多样化：大约30％的拉丁裔，20％的白色，剩下的50％在非裔美国人，亚裔/太平洋岛民和确定为多民族的青年之间均匀分配。该样本是在加利福尼亚南部和北部26所中学的三个队列中招募的样本，这些中学有系统地不同。 6至8年级的纵向数据是聚集在学生的社会和学术调整上，以测试有关城市中学种族多样性的心理益处和挑战的假设。预计学生将过渡到接近100所种族多样性的高中。将丰富的中学数据作为起点，该应用程序将研究高中的过渡和高中完成途径，作为发展过程。中学期间研究的数据评估结构和高中年度更独特的新结构将聚集在9至12年级和一年以上的同一学生上。该研究的高中途径阶段具有三个具体目标。 AIM 1研究中学社会和学术史如何预测关键的9年级过渡的顺利与破坏性的程度。 AIM 2检查了高中完成途径或调解机制，重点是三种发展能力：学术成就，心理健康和公民参与。关于学校种族多样性塑造每种发展途径的方式的新型假设。 AIM 3研究了可能破坏成功途径的肥胖和性取向等个体风险因素，例如肥胖和性取向的风险因素，例如严酷的纪律。通过利用现有的纵向样本，这项研究的长期目标是对颜色的青少年在城市中学和高中的挑战提供新的见解，这些挑战在种族多样性以及促进良好的学术准备，心理健康，精神健康和年轻青年青年时代的公民参与的机制方面各不相同。在一个不断变化的人口统计学的社会中，尤其是及时的，在这个社会中，人们尤其及时地重新定义了至关重要的青春期成功适应的含义。
