Researchers such as, Amy G. Langenkamp, Jennifer Braga Leonardo, and Daniel F. Perkins and colleagues conduct independent research that emphasis the importance of understanding the transitional period of adolescence. Amy G. Langenkamp article titled, Effects of School Mobility on Adolescent Social Ties and Academic Adjustment, attempts to correlate social isolation of students who transfer to new schools to high school drop-outs rates. In this article, Langenkamp builds on a previous research done by Joseph Gasper and colleagues, who hypothesized that transfer students are more likely to drop out of school and become socially isolated than their peers. While Gasper and colleagues, conducted research on already transferred students, Langenkamp, focuses on those students that transfer within their first year to reduce selection bias. She also attempts
