Skipping school in early adolescents in the Czech Republic: Association with problems and conflicts in the family and at school

Original language description

Our study focused on the prevalence of absenteeism at Czech primary schools and on the exploration of potential correlates and causes of this phenomenon in early adolescents. We were interested in differences between adolescents who never skipped schooland those who described themselves as school-skippers, especially with regard to family and school factors. The participants were asked to complete two self-report measures: a questionnaire on absenteeism from school designed for the purpose of the studyand The School Refusal Assessment Scale (SRAS-C) by Kearney &amp; Silverman (1993). On a sample composed of early adolescents (N = 200), we found that as much as 31.5% had some experience with skipping school. When the criterion was changed to the number of unexcused absences, the number was diminished to 1%, which corresponds to the official figures.
