Extracurricular Activities: Beneficial Extension of the Traditional Curriculum or Subversion of Academic Goals?

Marsh, Herbert W.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n4 p553-62 Dec 1992

Effects of total extracurricular activity participation (TEAP) during the last 2 years of high school were examined using data for 4,000 students from the High School and Beyond Survey. Results support a commitment-to-school hypothesis in which identification with school and school values is enhanced by TEAP. (SLD)
