The objective of this paper is to analyze the factors determining volunteerism among Spanish young people and children, with a particular emphasis on the influence of voluntary and social activities performed by parents. The database used is the 2002-2003 Time User Survey from the Spanish Statistical Office. We estimated the determinants influencing young people and children to become volunteers as a two-part decision: first, whether to volunteer or not, and second, to decide the amount of time they will spend volunteering. The results show that the most influential variables for all age groups are parents volunteering as examples, and parents' educational level. We consider this a relevant topic for identifying the role of public policies in promoting volunteerism, or organizations' activities for encouraging youth participation.

“…Another interesting avenue would be to examine family influences. Aspects of parents' child-rearing and disciplinary styles, such as warmth, agreeableness, and support, are likely to be linked to children's social competence (Ladd, 1999), and participation in organized activities (Anderson, Funk, Elliott, & Smith, 2003;Fletcher, Elder, & Mekos, 2000;Huebner & Mancini, 2003), whereas the opposite (e.g., coercive parenting) is likely to be associated with conduct problems (Dodge et al, 2008;Lahey et al, PARTICIPATION, SOCIAL SKILLS, AND CONDUCT PROBLEMS 26 1999;Moffitt, 1993;Patterson et al, 1992). Moreover, students' home environments are likely to have a greater impact on children than on adolescents because young children spend more time at home.…”

The goal of this study was to test a mediation model in which social skills mediate the relationship between participation in organized activities and conduct problems among elementary school children. Two moderators of these associations were also examined, namely, gender and reception of special education services. A total of 563 children (45% girls; Mage = 8.44) were surveyed. The findings revealed that, after controlling for important covariates, more frequent activity participation predicted better social skills, which, in turn, predicted fewer subsequent conduct problems among children. These associations were not moderated by gender or reception of special education services. These findings suggest that organized activities may provide a positive developmental context for children with conduct problems.

“…In addition to the role that interpersonal relationships have in youth development and risk behaviors, there are self-system factors that may be linked to youth themselves that are also important as protective factors (Huebner & Mancini, 2003). Griffin, Epstein, Botvin, and Spoth (2001) found that youth who were more socially confident, assertive, and had better communication skills were less likely to smoke and drink, thus indicating the significance of esteem and social competence in healthy adolescent development.…”

The relationships between risk behaviors and factors representing multiple ecological layers are examined among a sample of youth in grades seven through 12 (n = 2,701). Our primary interest is in the relationship between structured time-use as a protective factor and youth risk behavior patterns. Two other layers of protective factors are also examined, those dealing with interpersonal connections and with self-system characteristics. Concomitant demographic factors in the study are age, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. Stepwise multiple regression analysis reveals that less risk behavior is associated with greater attachment to school, greater school success, closer relationships with parents, and greater participation in structured time-use; significant predictors of more risk behavior are being older, being Jay A.
