As noted in Table 4, few age and gender differences were noted in regards to educational risks and the desire to talk about education. Among adolescents rating their schools as average to bad, females were more likely to want to talk about education than males (84.6% versus 74.0%, χ2 = 5.49, p < .05). Among those failing classes, skipping school, or doing poorly in school, there were no significant gender differences in desire to talk about education. However, among those failing classes, middle adolescents were more likely to want to talk about education (with 88.2% wanting to talk) than were early or late adolescents (77.3% and 80.9% wanting to talk, respectively, χ2 = 6.98, p < .05). No significant age-related differences were observed in desire to talk about education among adolescents who reported skipping school, rated their school as average or bad, or said they were doing poorly in school. Likewise, there were no significant age- or gender- related differences in regards to work risks and the desire to talk about work.
