Abstract

School bonding refers to the "connections" that youth have with their schools and various aspects of their academic lives. School bonding may be an important concept in prevention because it has been linked to various developmental and adjustment outcomes. This paper reviews conceptualizations, measurements, and theories of school bonding. Also considered are empirical studies that have linked school bonding to a variety of outcomes (substance use, delinquency, antisocial behavior, self-esteem). The review includes examination of how school bonding serves as a mediator in these relations and, in turn, is moderated by other variables. Despite inconsistencies in conceptualization and measurement, it is concluded that school bonding is an important construct and an appropriate target for intervention. Recommendations are offered regarding future research on school bonding, especially with respect to positive developmental outcomes and examination of variables that might moderate school bonding.

  • School bonding, school relatedness, and school connectedness are negatively associated with unfavourable characteristics such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, substance use, delinquency, and antisocial behaviour.

    “Several studies have indicated that school bonding (e.g.Maddox and Prinz 2003), school relatedness (e.g.Deci and Ryan 2000) and school connectedness (e.g.Resnick et al. 1997;Shochet et al. 2006; see also Lohmeier and Lee 2011) are negatively associated with unfavourable characteristics such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, substance use, delinquency, and antisocial behaviour.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
