The data note presents and discusses descriptive statistics comparing key variables on individuals’ social origin, cognitive ability and educational attainment that have been constructed based on the information contained in four different data sets: National Child Development Study (NCDS), 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70), Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE) and Avon Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). The main sets of variables presented are (1) measures of respondents’ cognitive ability in childhood, (2) parental education, class, status and income, and (3) respondents’ highest qualification and measures indicating whether respondents have crossed different educational qualification thresholds.

Over Time

Previous cross-sectional findings indicate that hearing and cognitive abilities are positively correlated in childhood, adulthood, and older age. We used an unusually valuable longitudinal dataset from a single-year birth cohort study, the National Child Development Study 1958, to test how hearing and cognitive abilities relate to one another across the life course from childhood to middle age. Cognitive ability was assessed with a single test of general cognitive ability at age 11 years and again with multiple tests at age 50. Hearing ability was assessed, using a pure tone audiogram, in childhood at ages 11 and 16 and again at age 44. Associations between childhood and middle-age hearing and cognitive abilities were investigated using structural equation modelling. We found that higher cognitive ability was associated with better hearing (indicated by a lower score on the hearing ability variables); this association was apparent in childhood ( r  =  -0.120, p <0.001) and middle age ( r  =  -0.208, p <0.001). There was a reciprocal relationship between hearing and cognitive abilities over time: better hearing in childhood was weakly associated with a higher cognitive ability in middle age ( β  =  -0.076, p  =  0.001), and a higher cognitive ability in childhood was associated with better hearing in middle age ( β  =  -0.163, p <0.001). This latter, stronger effect was mediated by occupational and health variables in adulthood. Our results point to the discovery of a potentially life-long relationship between hearing and cognitive abilities and demonstrate how these variables may influence one another over time.

AbstractIn this paper, we use a powerful empirical resource to address what the popular politics of disadvantage might entail in contemporary Britain. We take advantage of the unusually rich qualitative data from the British National Child Development Study, a cohort of Britons born in 1 week in 1958, to focus specifically on the accounts of those who are particularly disadvantaged. By concentrating on these a small number of qualitative accounts, which have been rigorously selected from the wider nationally representative sample on the basis of their relatively small amounts of economic and cultural capital, we will explore in detail the accounts and identities of these disadvantaged Britons with a view to explicating their political frameworks, their social identities and more broadly their orientations towards mobilisation.

Статья посвящена краткосрочным и отдаленным последствиям, которые может оказывать опыт участия в школьном буллинге на различные аспекты благополучия вырастающих школьников в дальнейшем. Приводятся данные междисциплинарных лонгитюдных исследований (в первую очередь, British National Child Development Study, The Great Smoky Mountain Study, Finnish 1981 Birth Cohort Study и др.), метаанализов, а также «поперечных срезов», в которых анализируются последствия ситуаций школьного буллинга. Показано, что буллинг в школе вносит вклад в повышение рисков самоповреждающего и суицидального поведения, психосоматических проблем, употребления психоактивных веществ, криминализации и др., причем многое касается не только тех, кто оказывался в роли жертвы буллинга, но и тех, кто играл роль агрессивной жертвы или агрессора в буллинг-ситуациях. Вовлеченность в ситуацию буллинга негативно отражается в перспективе на физическом и психическом здоровье, реализуемой образовательной траектории и вовлеченности в учебу, дружеских и супружеских отношениях, успешности трудоустройства, финансовом благополучии выросших школьников. Спектр негативных последствий буллинга чрезвычайно широк и должен учитываться в проектировании антибуллинговых программ. В то же время налицо недостаток исследований последствий буллинга для детей, которые присутствовали в ситуациях буллинга в роли свидетелей: некоторые данные указывают на то, что такой опыт тоже может иметь негативные последствия для социализации, однако эти представления нуждаются в дальнейшем изучении. Наконец, рассматриваются основные направления и выигрыши от внедрения системы профилактики и прекращения буллинга в образовательных учреждениях.
