虽然研究清楚地表明，低家庭收入对儿童的认知能力和社会情感能力有负面影响，但很少考虑到家庭的物质困难。本研究采用幼儿期纵向研究，1998-1999年的幼儿园班级（N= 21，255），考察了家庭收入和物质困难的双重组成部分，沿着父母的压力，积极的养育方式和投资作为6岁儿童认知技能和社会情感能力的预测因子。支持被发现的一个模型，确定独特的父母介导的路径，从收入到认知技能，从收入和物质困难的社会情感能力。研究结果对未来家庭收入和儿童发展的研究以及确定有希望的政策干预目标具有影响。
Although research has clearly established that low family income has negative impacts on children's cognitive skills and social-emotional competence, less often is a family's experience of material hardship considered. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 (N=21,255), this study examined dual components of family income and material hardship along with parent mediators of stress, positive parenting, and investment as predictors of 6-year-old children's cognitive skills and social-emotional competence. Support was found for a model that identified unique parent-mediated paths from income to cognitive skills and from income and material hardship to social-emotional competence. The findings have implications for future study of family income and child development and for identification of promising targets for policy intervention.
