Results from the first study of school sector impacts on
non-cognitive skills based upon a nationally representative panel
of U. S. students tracked from 1st through 8th grade by a survey
conducted by the U. S. Department of Education. Impacts on
adherence to educationally productive social norms and internal
sense of psychological well-being are estimated, using probit and
propensity score matching models.
Research conducted by Paul Peterson and Martina
Viarengo.
