q3 · i? · associational · r2
Prospective longitudinal study (N = 1094, ages 5.6 to 11.1) examining family factors associated with school mobility. The article reports that "changes in family income and household structure did predict higher odds of two or more moves" while no family factors predicted a recent or single move; no odds ratios are printed.
"Family factors were not linked to a recent move or a single move, but changes in family income and household structure did predict higher odds of two or more moves in elementary school."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The study design separately examined recent-year moves and cumulative moves across elementary school in relation to child functioning — a broader claim this one bears on
- A recent school move or a single move shows no evidence of relation to children's academic or social functioning — related
- Prior research has linked moving during childhood with adverse educational and behavioral adjustment outcomes, with the disruptive nature of moving cited as the underlying factor — related
- Effects of two or more school moves on child functioning are not significant after controlling for the number of analyses conducted — related
