Evidence¶
Dupéré 2014¶
Dupéré, V., Leventhal, T., Dion, E., Crosnoe, R., Archambault, I., & Janosz, M. (2014). Stressors and Turning Points in High School and Dropout: A Stress Process, Life Course Framework. https://eric.ed.gov/?q=Stressors+and+Turning+Points+in+High+School+and+Dropout
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Bowers & Sprott and Janosz and colleagues, that "as many as 40% of dropouts do not show clear signs of disengagement" prior to leaving school, based on typological longitudinal studies the review narrates rather than re-analyzes.
"accumulating evidence suggests that as many as 40% of dropouts do not show clear signs of disengagement or major academic or behavioral problems in the years before dropping out"
