童年社会经济地位（SES）与执行功能（EF）之间的关系最近在心理学领域引起了关注，此前有报告称儿童的执行功能存在显著的社会经济地位差异。鉴于执行功能被认为是终身成就和健康方面社会经济差异的一个中介因素，这一关系就显得更为重要。然而，关于童年社会经济地位和执行功能之间关系的证据并不一致，且尚未有系统性的尝试对不同研究中的这种关系进行评估。本元分析系统地回顾了相关文献中对不同社会经济地位的儿童样本进行执行功能评估的研究，包括有和没有关于社会经济地位的主要假设的研究。该分析涵盖了从25个独立样本中收集的8760名2至18岁的儿童。分析表明，在所有研究中，社会经济地位和执行功能之间存在一种虽小但具有统计学意义的相关性（随机效应r = 0.16，95%置信区间[0.12, 0.21]），且未对因范围限制或测量不可靠性导致的衰减进行校正。研究之间存在显著的异质性，一些因素，包括样本中社会经济地位的变异量以及所使用的执行功能测量指标的数量，成为了调节因素。仅使用样本中社会经济地位具有有意义变异的15项研究，社会经济地位和执行功能之间的平均相关性为中小程度（随机效应r = 0.22，95%置信区间[0.17, 0.27]）。仅使用对执行功能进行多种测量的6项研究，这种关系为中等程度（随机效应r = 0.28，95%置信区间[0.18 - 0.37]）。总之，本元分析证实了执行功能中存在社会经济地位差异，并表明这种差异的程度介于小和中等之间，具体取决于测量方法。
The relation between childhood socioeconomic status (SES) and executive function (EF) has recently attracted attention within psychology, following reports of substantial SES disparities in children’s EF. Adding to the importance of this relation, EF has been proposed as a mediator of socioeconomic disparities in lifelong achievement and health. However, evidence about the relationship between childhood SES and EF is mixed, and there has been no systematic attempt to evaluate this relationship across studies. This meta-analysis systematically reviewed the literature for studies in which samples of children varying in SES were evaluated on EF, including studies with and without primary hypotheses about SES. The analysis included 8,760 children between the ages of 2 and 18 gathered from 25 independent samples. Analyses showed a small but statistically significant correlation between SES and EF across all studies (rrandom = .16, 95% CI [.12, .21]) without correcting for attenuation due to range restriction or measurement unreliability. Substantial heterogeneity was observed between studies, and a number of factors, including the amount of SES variability in the sample and the number of EF measures used, emerged as moderators. Using only the 15 studies with meaningful SES variability in the sample, the average correlation between SES and EF was small-to-medium in size (rrandom = .22, 95% CI [.17, .27]). Using only the 6 studies with multiple measures of EF, the relationship was medium in size (rrandom = .28, 95% CI [.18–.37]). In sum, this meta-analysis supports the presence of SES disparities in EF and suggests that they are between small and medium in size, depending on the methods used to measure them.
