Roeser, Robert W.; Eccles, Jacquelynne S.; Freedman-Doan, Carol

Journal of Adolescent Research, v14 n2 p135-74 Apr 1999

Examined patterns of academic functioning and mental health in middle school students and the relation of such patterns to their prior and subsequent functioning. Found variegated patterns of academic and emotional functioning at eighth grade and stability in these patterns across the high school transition. Found some long-term stability among children with uniformly positive or negative functioning at eighth grade. (Author/KB)
