The last 40 years have been marked by a growing appreciation of organized afterschool activities as a developmental context, with evidence that these activities are linked to academic, social, and behavioral outcomes at least in the short term. In this chapter, we focus on research that builds on these earlier advances to extend afterschool research in two areas that are critical to the future of this field. First, we feature research that examines organized activities longitudinally from kindergarten through the end of high school, enabling us to study organized activities in relation to academic, social-emotional, behavioral, and health outcomes in both the short-run and long-run, including into adulthood. We then turn to a second advance: research focused on organized activities that serve minoritized children and adolescents. These studies identify the barriers minoritized youth often face and how activities can be designed to support their positive development, including efforts to provide culturally responsive programming. Promising directions for future research are presented in a third section.
过去的 40 年见证了人们对课外组织活动作为发展背景的认识不断提高，有证据表明，这些活动至少在短期内与学术、社交和行为结果有关。在本章中，我们重点介绍了在这些早期进展基础上的研究，以在两个对该领域未来至关重要的领域扩展课外研究。首先，我们介绍了从幼儿园到高中结束的纵向组织活动的研究，使我们能够研究组织活动与短期和长期的学术、社会情感、行为和健康结果之间的关系，包括成年后。然后，我们转向第二个进展：关注为少数族裔儿童和青少年服务的组织活动的研究。这些研究确定了少数族裔青年经常面临的障碍，以及如何设计活动来支持他们的积极发展，包括努力提供文化响应性计划。在第三部分提出了未来研究的有希望的方向。
