Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: This study examines different levels of influence on an individual. We wanted to determine whether individual, peers, or school factors influenced high school dropout. The current study used data from two waves, collected two years apart, from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS, 2002). Analyses in this study were limited to participants who gave valid responses to the variables of interest. A total of 8,531 respondents were included in this study. Both individual and peer factors influenced high school dropout. Peer dropout had the strongest influence on high school dropout. Potential areas of prevention efforts that would aid in the deterrence of high school dropout are discussed. |
