Roisman, Glenn I.

Journal of Adolescent Research, v17 n4 p331-45 Jul 2002

Interviewed adolescents in grades 9 through 12 to examine family closeness as either mediator or moderator of relationships between intense work and academic engagement. Found that for boys, the family closeness mediational model provided best fit for data; for girls, the moderator model fit best. Found girls were especially vulnerable to negative influence of work on school success. (KK)
