本研究探讨了儿童家庭环境特征与两项入学准备技能（口语和社会功能）之间的关系。122名（65名女孩，57名男孩）39-49个月学龄前儿童（M = 45.00, sd = 5.40）的低社会经济地位拉丁裔母亲完成了关于家庭人口、家庭环境和育儿压力感知的问卷调查。学龄前教师对儿童的社会功能进行评分，并对儿童进行PPVT-R（或TVIP）测试。通径分析结果显示，在控制儿童的年龄和可能影响儿童学习机会的因素后，父母识字投入与儿童PPVT-R/TVIP得分和社会功能之间的关系被儿童识字兴趣所中介。此外，母亲的育儿压力感知与儿童的PPVT-R/TVIP得分和社会功能直接相关。研究结果强调了低经济地位拉丁裔家庭的家庭文化环境在群体内的差异。(c) 2006爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
This exploratory study examined the relations among characteristics of children's home environments and two school readiness skills: their oral language and social functioning. Low SES Latino mothers of 122 (65 girls; 57 boys) preschoolers (39-49 months (M = 45.00; S.D. = 5.40) completed questionnaires about their family demography, their home environments, and their perceived parenting stress. Preschool teachers rated children's social functioning, and children were administered the PPVT-R (or the TVIP). Results of path analyses showed that when controlling for children's age and factors that potentially influence children's opportunities for learning, the relation between parents' literacy involvement and children's PPVT-R/TVIP scores and social functioning was mediated by children's interest in literacy. In addition, mothers' perceived parenting stress was directly associated with children's PPVT-R/TVIP scores and social functioning. The findings highlight within-group variations in the home literacy environments of low SES Latino families. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
