Intergenerational determinants of child development on school entry

人们对儿童发展的先入之见决定因素普遍感兴趣，但进展依赖于多代纵向数据集，这在国际上很少见。该项目利用了一个独特的机会，从澳大利亚最古老的心理社会发展纵向研究之一，跟踪第三代后代。自1983年以来，澳大利亚气质项目跟踪了2000多名澳大利亚年轻人（及其家庭），自2012年以来，跟踪了1000多名从怀孕到4岁的后代。该项目将把对子女的评估扩大到6年，标志着向学校的过渡。研究结果有可能重塑促进代际福祉和打破代际不利循环的方法。

There is widespread interest in preconception determinants of child development but progress relies on multigenerational longitudinal datasets, which are rare internationally. This project takes advantage of a unique opportunity to follow third-generation offspring from one of Australia's oldest longitudinal studies of psychosocial development. The Australian Temperament Project has followed 2000+ young Australians (and their families) since 1983, and over 1000 offspring from pregnancy to 4 years since 2012. This project will expand offspring assessments to 6-years, marking the transition to school. Findings have the potential to reshape approaches promoting intergenerational wellbeing and breaking intergenerational cycles of disadvantage.
