Narrative: Case study 27.3 summary
The researchers of this study concluded that children who move often are 35 percent more likely to fail a grade and 77 percent more likely to have behavioral problems than children whose families move rarely.These results were based on a nationwide study of 9,915 youngsters aged 6-17."High movers" were defined as those who had moved at least 6 times.High movers were 1.35 times more likely to have failed a grade and 1.77 times more likely to have developed at least four frequent behavioral problems (ranging from depression to impulsiveness to destructiveness).The results were adjusted for poverty, single parenting, belonging to a racial minority, and having parents with less than a high school education.
