Abstract

We investigated School Dropout Intention (SDI) in a cohort of 247 Italian students (57.5% males; Mage = 12.11; SDage = 1.92) officially certified as living in poverty. Results from latent growth models indicated a gradual increase of SDI during compulsory education, highlighting the protective role of educational and psychological factors.
