The hypotheses to be tested are, 1) time spent reading for pleasure as an adolescent will have a positive impact on life outcomes, 2) time spent on extra lessons as an adolescent will have a positive impact on life outcomes, and 3) time spent watching television will have a negative impact on life outcomes.
