Abstract

This study examines the short-term and long-term impact of being educated with immigrant peers. We leverage a quasi-experimental design using across-grade, within-school variation in cohort/grade composition for students in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. We find positive effects for foreign-born students compared with native-born students from increasing exposure to other foreign-born students, including on risky health behaviors, social isolation, mental health, and academic effort. While we find negative effects on language and educational attainment, these differences do not translate into worse socioeconomic status in adulthood. Finally, we present evidence suggesting that these differential effects stem from highly segregated, school friendship networks.

外国出生的同龄人对美国高中的影响

这项研究考察了与移民同龄人一起接受教育的短期和长期影响。在国家青少年健康纵向研究中，我们利用准实验设计，使用跨年级、校内的学生队列/年级组成变化。我们发现，与本土学生相比，与其他外国出生的学生接触的增加对外国出生的孩子有积极影响，包括对危险的健康行为、社交孤立、心理健康和学业努力。虽然我们发现了对语言和教育程度的负面影响，但这些差异并没有转化为成年后更糟糕的社会经济地位。最后，我们提出的证据表明，这些差异效应源于高度隔离的学校友谊网络。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
