Associations Between School Connection and Non-Cognitive Skills: Moderation By Family Income Presented: Miami FL, Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Annual Fall Research Conference, November 12-14, 2015 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Depression (see also CESD); Family Income; Noncognitive Skills; School Quality Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. While a broad literature suggests that school connection positively influences SE skills, much of the extant research relies on cross-sectional samples of unrelated youth, resulting in several threats to causal inference, including reverse causality and omitted variable bias. This project, therefore, examines the relationship between school connection and SE outcomes in a longitudinal, national dataset using various estimation strategies to address causal threats. Specifically, it uses a lagged dependent variable (DV) model, a sibling fixed effects model, and a first difference model to explore whether the association between school connection and delinquency, depressive symptoms, and self-worth is robust to rigorous specifications, and whether these associations vary by family income. |
