幼儿期是生命历程中的一个关键时期，为未来的生活奠定基础。早期生活环境邻里和家庭影响发展的结果，特别是当儿童暴露在经济和社会劣势。在有学龄前儿童的家庭中经常出现的居住流动，可能会减少或增加对不利环境的接触。我们使用两个纵向微数据集：英国千年队列研究的城市子样本（N高达7967）和美国脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究（N高达1820），研究了儿童在5岁时的认知和行为结果，与邻里组成，家庭情况和住宅移动有关。每一项都与一个邻里优势指数挂钩，该指数是根据人口普查和行政信息创建的，用于对英国和美国进行比较。一系列的估计表明，在这两个国家，认知分数和邻里优势之间有很强的关联，家庭环境会减弱但不会消除。另一方面，儿童的行为问题与邻里优势的联系较少。有轻微的和混合的差异，特别是当邻里的不利条件发生变化时，居住的流动性。尽管家庭在预测学龄前儿童的发展方面具有首要地位，但研究结果支持了邻里关系至少在认知结果方面具有潜在优势的观点。
Early childhood is a critical period in the life course, setting the foundation for future life. Early life contexts—neighborhoods and families—influence developmental outcomes, especially when children are exposed to economic and social disadvantage. Residential mobility, frequent among families with pre-school children, may reduce or increase exposure to adverse surroundings. We examine children’s cognitive and behavioral outcomes at age five, in relation to neighborhood composition, family circumstances and residential moves, using two longitudinal micro datasets: an urban subsample of the UK Millennium Cohort Study (N up to 7967), and the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study in the US (N up to 1820). Each is linked to an index of neighborhood advantage, created to make UK/US comparisons, based on census and administrative information. A series of estimates indicate a strong association, in both countries, between cognitive scores and neighborhood advantage, attenuated but not eliminated by family circumstances. Children’s behavior problems, on the other hand, show less association with neighborhood advantage. There are minor and mixed differences by residential mobility particularly when neighborhood disadvantage changes. Notwithstanding the primacy of the family in predicting preschool development, the findings support the notion of neighborhood as potentially advantageous at least in relation to cognitive outcomes.
