Although extracurricular activity involvement during high school is linked with positive academic outcomes, less is known about the longitudinal effects or the mediators of this association. The current investigation assessed the influence of 10th grade extracurricular activity involvement on educational attainment. The sample for this study (N = 11,720; 52.9% female) was drawn from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002, a nationally representative, longitudinal investigation. Both breadth and intensity of extracurricular activity involvement in the 10th grade were linked with educational attainment eight years after high school. For breadth, the association was mediated by increased educational expectations in the 12th grade. The results are discussed in terms of the implications and importance of extracurricular activity involvement.
虽然高中阶段的课外活动参与与积极的学术成果相关，但对于这种关联的纵向影响或中介因素知之甚少。本研究评估了 10 年级课外活动参与对教育成就的影响。本研究的样本（N=11720；女性占 52.9%）来自于 2002 年教育纵向研究，这是一项具有全国代表性的纵向研究。10 年级时广泛参与和高强度参与课外活动均与高中毕业后八年的教育成就相关。在广度方面，这种关联是通过 12 年级时教育期望的增加来介导的。研究结果从课外活动参与的意义和重要性方面进行了讨论。
