q3 i? Higher school attachment predicted increases in ASR over each of three intervals, but ASR did not consistently predict later school attachment. → Xia 2016

Cross-lag results from the longitudinal SEM showed adolescents with higher school attachment reported ASR increases over each of the three time points, while ASR predicted school attachment only from W2 to W3, supporting a unidirectional pattern.

"School attachment also was consistently linked with increases in ASR over time; however, ASR was not a consistent predictor of change in school attachment, as was true with family climate."

Related Claims¶

• Family climate and school attachment exert reciprocal positive influences on each other over the middle school years — related
• School attachment predicts later school adjustment but not GPA; family climate shows only a marginal association with school adjustment and none with GPA — related
• Positive family climate consistently predicts increases in adolescent academic self-regulation, with unidirectional effects — related
• Academic self-regulation in 8th grade robustly predicts both GPA and school adjustment in 9th grade — related
