Research note: truants and other absentees.

D Galloway

    Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines
    |October 1, 1983

    Summary

    Truancy in urban areas shows few social or financial differences between truants and other absentees. However, significant behavioral and family relationship disparities distinguish truants, differentiating them from school refusers.

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Child Behavioral Studies
    • Urban Sociology

    Background:

    • Understanding the distinct characteristics of truancy versus school refusal is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Previous research indicates potential differences in underlying causes and manifestations between truants and school refusers.
    • Socioeconomic factors in depressed urban areas may influence school absenteeism patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the social, financial, behavioral, and familial characteristics of truants with other school absentees in a depressed urban setting.
    • To identify key differentiating factors between truancy and other forms of school absenteeism.
    • To contribute to the existing body of research distinguishing truants from school refusers.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of two groups: truants and other absentees from school.
    • Focus on participants residing in the same depressed urban area.
    • Assessment of social circumstances, financial situations, children's behavior, and family relationships.

    Main Results:

    • Minimal differences observed in the social and financial circumstances between truants and other absentees.
    • Significant variations identified in children's behavior and family relationships.
    • Behavioral and relational differences provide a basis for distinguishing truancy from general absenteeism.

    Conclusions:

    • Truancy is primarily differentiated from other forms of school absenteeism by behavioral and family dynamics, not socioeconomic status.
    • Findings support the distinction between truants and school refusers based on these identified factors.
    • Further research into behavioral and familial interventions is warranted for addressing truancy in urban environments.
