The Role of Resilience in Student-Athletes’ Sport and School Burnout and Dropout : A Longitudinal Person-oriented Study
2019
Although it has been shown that student‐athletes who pursue upper secondary school alongside with an athletic career may be prone to sport and school burnout, the concrete life changes resulting from burning out, such as dropping out of sport or school, have not been investigated. Moreover, it is unknown why some student‐athletes do not burnout. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there are different kinds of profiles—based on the level and development of sport and school burnout symptoms across upper secondary school—that can be identified among student‐athletes and how resilience and the likelihood of dropping out from sport or school differ between the profiles. The s…
L’orientamento nel primo biennio di un istituto professionale
2017
L’intervento mirava a verificare se, integrando l’azione della scuola, che è un’agenzia educativa formale, con quella di agenzie formative non formali che operano nello stesso territorio dell’Istituto professionale coinvolto nella ricerca, si abbassava il tasso di dispersione scolastica nel primo biennio. Al termine delle nuove iniziative educative realizzate, dal confronto con i risultati degli anni precedenti, si è notato un aumento dei voti in matematica e in lingua italiana, una diminuzione delle assenze e dei ritardi all’ingresso e un aumento dei contatti tra genitori e insegnanti. The intervention was aimed to verify whether the integration of school action (being school a formal educ…
Labor market performance of dropouts: the role of personality
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence on labor market careers of dropouts with various levels of education. Design/methodology/approach – The paper compares the labor market careers of dropouts and non-dropouts between ages 15 and 50 by using longitudinal data. The paper analyses how the results change when the authors control for differences in personality characteristics. Findings – The paper finds that dropping out diminishes one's success in the labor market but this connection is reduced when the model is augmented with personality. Dropouts seem to have or lack certain personality characteristics that are associated with labor market success. These findings sugge…

Stability of social support during school transitions: Associations with truancy and not completing upper secondary education in normative time
2022
Not completing upper secondary education is often presignaled by truancy from school. Student-perceived social support from family, peers, and teachers can prevent truancy and the risk of not completing education. However, prior studies have not focused on the stability of social support across school transitions. This longitudinal study of 1901 Finnish students examined the extent to which social support was stable or specific to primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary schools. Moreover, we examined whether support was associated with not completing upper secondary education in normative time and whether truancy mediated the relationship between support and not completing education. …
