此前的研究表明，母亲的非标准工作时间安排与孩子的幸福之间存在关联。在这项研究的基础上，我们考察了父母轮班工作与孩子从5-6岁到13-14岁的阅读和数学轨迹之间的关系。使用国家青少年纵向调查的数据(N=7105)和成长曲线模型，我们发现儿童的数学和阅读轨迹与父母的非标准轮班(即晚班、夜班或变量)有关。我们发现，母亲上夜班的时间越长，阅读分数越低；母亲上夜班或夜班的时间越长，数学轨迹越少；父亲上夜班的时间越长，数学成绩越低。调解测试表明，一起吃饭、父母对孩子下落的了解，以及某些课外活动可能有助于解释这些结果。
Previous work has shown an association between mothers' nonstandard work schedules and children's well-being. We built on this research by examining the relationship between parental shift work and children's reading and math trajectories from age 5-6 to 13-14. Using data (N = 7,105) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and growth-curve modeling, we found that children's math and reading trajectories were related to parents' nonstandard shifts (i.e., evening, night, or variable). We found that having a mother who worked more years at a night shift was associated with lower reading scores, having a mother work more years at evening or night shifts was associated with reduced math trajectories, and having a father work more years at an evening shift was associated with reduced math scores. Mediation tests suggest that eating meals together, parental knowledge about children's whereabouts, and certain after-school activities might help explain these results.
