Araştırmanın katılımcıları yaş ortalaması 12.6 olan toplam 552 (280 kız, 272 erkek) ortaokul öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır.

Öğrencilerin yaşı ve sınıfı ilerledikçe okula bağlanma düzeylerinin düştüğü belirlenmiştir. Ailesinin ekonomik durumu ve anne-babasının eğitim durumu yüksek olan öğrencilerin okula bağlanma düzeyleri, ailesinin ekonomik durumu ve anne-babasının eğitim durumu düşük olan öğrencilere göre daha yüksektir.
