This research investigated whether delayed school entry was associated with higher achievement in national tests of reading and numeracy in grades 3, 5, 7 and 9 (n=2823). Delayed entry was related to advantages in reading (0.14SD) and numeracy (0.08SD) at grade 3, although little variance was explained (1-2%). This slight advantage persisted for both domains in grades 5 and 7, albeit with smaller effects. In grade 9 there was no association between delayed entry and either reading or numeracy. Exploratory analyses with subsamples in each grade (n=424-667) revealed no associations between delayed entry and achievement after controlling for inattention and hyperactivity, and negative associations between inattention and achievement in all grades in both domains (-0.33, -0.49SD).

This chapter presents an overview of aspects that may influence women and men religious on their religious vocational decision during their childhood with their family and parish, their attendance of primary and secondary school, their participation in parish life, and their college years. The influential aspects addressed are: attending Mass regularly and devotional practices, having the opportunity to discuss and receive encouragement from others to discern a religious vocation, the witness of men and women religious, and being engaged in youth and voluntary ministry programs. The chapter concludes that while not every individual religious has opportunities to experience these activities in various environments before he or she decides to enter religious life, all the aspects complement one another and have an impact on religious vocational discernment and decision-making.
