Abstract

This study explores the relationship between social capital, the timing of geographic mobility, and their effects on adolescent achievement and behavioral outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze data from diverse adolescents who have experienced varying degrees of geographic transitions during critical developmental periods. Our findings indicate that social capital significantly influences both academic success and behavioral adjustments, particularly when geographic moves occur during early adolescence. The results highlight the importance of community and familial networks in supporting adolescents during transitions, suggesting that interventions aimed at enhancing social capital can mitigate potential negative impacts of geographic mobility.
