本研究利用脆弱家庭和儿童福祉研究的数据，测试了婚生对儿童早期发育的益处是否会随着父母非婚生育风险的增加而减少（N=2,285）。有人假设，未婚父母所生孩子的可能性部分取决于父亲的特征，这些特征预测了他促进儿童发育的能力。结果部分支持了假设。仅对于父母可能在孩子出生时结婚的孩子来说，父母婚姻与3岁时的认知结果之间存在正相关关系，这表明已婚家庭和未婚家庭的孩子之间的平均差异可能高估了受非婚生育影响最大的亚人群中婚姻的好处。
Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Well‐Being Study, the present study tested whether the benefits of a marital birth for early child development diminish as parents’ risk of having a nonmarital birth increases (N=2,285). It was hypothesized that a child’s likelihood of being born to unmarried parents is partly a function of father characteristics that predict his capacity to promote child development. Results partially supported hypothesis. A positive association emerged between parental marriage and cognitive outcomes at age 3 only for children whose parents were likely to be married at the child’s birth, suggesting average differences between children in married and unmarried families may overestimate the benefit of marriage in subpopulations most impacted by nonmarital birth.
