The concept of work involves force and displacement; meanwhile, the work-energy theorem relates the net work done on a body to the difference in its kinetic energy, calculated between two points on its trajectory. While none of these quantities or relations involves time explicitly, we know that the time available to accomplish work is often just as important as the amount of work itself. For example, sprinters in a race may have achieved the same velocity at the finish, therefore,...

Correlations

34.8K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

1.1K
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

29.3K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

41.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.9K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Students in School-to-Work (STW) programs showed poorer academic performance and more behavioral issues than peers. Further research is needed to determine if STW participation negatively impacts student achievement.

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The School-to-Work (STW) Opportunities Act facilitates the transition from education to employment through work-based learning.
  • Work-based learning opportunities are available in 72% of U.S. high schools.
  • This study is the first to examine school performance and behaviors of students in STW programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe school performance and behaviors of students in STW programs.
  • To compare STW students with nonworking and other-working students.
  • To identify potential negative impacts of STW participation on academic achievement.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to students in five Wisconsin school districts and one urban school in 2003.
  • Analyses were conducted between 2008 and 2010.
  • Characterized STW students and compared them with nonworking and other-working students.

Main Results:

  • The study included 6,519 students aged 14-18; 7% were in STW programs, 48% were nonworking, and 45% were other-working.
  • STW students had lower GPAs (>2.0), more unexcused absences, and spent less time in school activities compared to other students.
  • Holding multiple jobs was associated with negative academic performance.

Conclusions:

  • STW students exhibited poorer academic performance and less healthy school-related behaviors than nonworking and other-working students.
  • While various factors influence academic performance, more research is necessary.
  • Investigate whether STW program participation contributes to negative academic outcomes.
