虽然美国国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所（NICHD）早期儿童保育研究网络（本期）和Watamura，Donzella，Alwin和Gunnar（本期）的研究确定了儿童保育对儿童适应的潜在影响，但这些影响是如何产生的仍然不清楚。在这篇评论中，有人认为，有必要扩大儿童保育的研究，考虑一个最重要的，但未被承认的，贡献者的儿童保育效果的同龄人。研究表明，儿童在同性同伴群体在儿童保育的互动影响他们的短期和长期的调整。我们考虑如何研究早期同伴的影响可以告知NICHD早期儿童保育研究网络和Watamura等人的研究结果，以及有助于下一代儿童保育研究。
Although the studies of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Early Child Care Research Network (this issue) and of Watamura, Donzella, Alwin, and Gunnar (this issue) identify the potential of child care to affect children's adjustment, how these effects are produced remains unclear. In this commentary, it is argued that there is a need to expand child care research by considering one of the most important, but unrecognized, contributors to child care effects-peers. Research is reviewed that suggests that children's interactions in same-sex peer groups at child care affect their short- and long-term adjustment. We consider how research on early peer influences can inform the findings of the NICHD Early Child Care Research Network and Watamura et al. studies, as well as contribute to the next generation of child care research.
