Research on adolescents has ignored a setting in which significant numbers of young people spend significant amounts of time: the workplace. The increasing participation of high school students in the part-time labor force raises a number of questions about the impact of such employment on family and peer relations. Questionnaire data from a descriptive study of 531 tenth- and eleventh- graders indicate that (a) working attenuates time spent with family, but not with peers; (b) girls, but not boys, may enter the work force in part as a result of weaker emotional ties to their parents; (c) working has negligible impact on the quality of family and peer relationships; (d) despite substantial incomes, workers do not have complete autonomy over their expenditures, nor do working and money-making lead to increased autonomy in other areas; and (e) the workplace is not a source of close personal relationships with others. Taken together, these findings suggest that working does not have a substantial immediate impact on the adolescent's relations with others. Possible long-range effects are briefly noted.
青少年研究忽视了一个重要的环境，即大量年轻人会在此花费大量时间：工作场所。越来越多的高中生加入兼职劳动力大军，这引发了一些问题，即此类就业对家庭和同伴关系会产生何种影响。对 531 名十年级和十一年级学生进行描述性研究的问卷调查数据表明：（a）工作会减少与家人相处的时间，但不会减少与同伴相处的时间；（b）女孩，而不是男孩，可能会部分由于与父母的情感联系较弱而进入劳动力市场；（c）工作对家庭和同伴关系的质量几乎没有影响；（d）尽管收入可观，但工人对支出没有完全的自主权，工作和赚钱也不会导致其他方面的自主权增加；（e）工作场所不是与他人建立亲密人际关系的源泉。总的来说，这些发现表明，工作对青少年与他人的关系没有实质性的即时影响。简要提到了可能的长期影响。
