Environmental conditions impact the well-being of populations worldwide, including the academic proficiency of youth. The current review summarizes the role of environmental influences (i.e., air pollution, greenspace, noise, and disasters) on academic proficiency.
We identified 31 articles published since 2018, with the largest number on air pollution (=16) and the fewest on noise (=2). The air pollution studies find many significant associations with academic outcomes with some exceptions. Findings from the two noise studies are mixed. The eight studies on greenspace have mixed findings, depending on study specifics. All five studies on disasters find at least some significant associations with academic outcomes.
To build from recent findings, future research should consider focusing on college students, synergies between environmental conditions, social characteristics as effect modifiers, better environmental metrics, longitudinal designs, underexamined contexts, novel academic outcomes, and protective factors and interventions.
环境状况影响着全球人口的福祉,包括青少年的学业水平。本综述总结了环境影响因素(即空气污染、绿地、噪音和灾害)对学业水平的作用。
我们检索到了2018年以来发表的31篇文章,其中关于空气污染的文章数量最多(=16篇),关于噪音的文章数量最少(=2篇)。空气污染研究发现了许多与学业成绩的显著关联,但也有一些例外。两项噪音研究的结果不一。八项关于绿地的研究结果不一,具体取决于研究细节。所有五项关于灾害的研究都至少发现了一些与学业成绩的显著关联。
基于最新发现,未来的研究应考虑关注大学生、环境状况之间的协同作用、作为效应修饰因素的社会特征、更好的环境指标、纵向设计、研究不足的背景、新的学业成果以及保护因素和干预措施。
