This Program Project proposal is the most carefully organized collaborative research proposal in our history. It focuses on families in 6 culturally different, primarily low-income ethnic minority populations whose children may be at risk for mild mental retardation, developmental delay or associated maladaptive behaviors. Project 4 (Edgerton and Weisner) will pursue two related goals: (1) overall coordination of research on family adaptation in cultural context, focused on ecocultural domains of activity among the ethnic minority populations studied in other projects and (2) comparisons of the relative validity of various self-report and observational data collected in these three projects. Project 10 (Kernan, and Tucker) will alter its focus from Down Syndrome to a study of family and sociocultural "resilience" factors that protect children against educational delay and behavioral disorders in three contractive ethnic minority populations -- African-Americans, and newly immigrant Garifuna ("Black Caribs") and Creoles from Belize. Project 7 (Gallimore and Goldenberg) will extend its research on the early school lives of Hispanic children at risk for developmental and educational delay, and Project 6 (Nihira and Mink) will continue longitudinal research concerning the effects of acculturation on the home environment of Asian-American children with developmental delay.

这个项目提案是最精心组织的 最大的合作研究提案它关注家庭 在6个文化不同、主要是低收入少数民族中， 儿童可能有轻度智力迟钝风险的人群， 发育迟缓或相关的适应不良行为。项目4 （埃杰顿和韦斯纳）将追求两个相关的目标：（1）总体 协调文化背景下的家庭适应研究， 侧重于少数民族的生态文化活动领域， 其他项目中研究的人群和（2）相对 这些研究中收集的各种自我报告和观察数据的有效性 三个项目。项目10（Kernan和Tucker）将改变其重点， 唐氏综合征对家庭和社会文化“复原力”因素的研究 保护儿童免受教育延迟和行为障碍 在三个收缩的少数民族人口中--非洲裔美国人， 以及来自伯利兹的新移民加里富纳人（“加勒比黑人”）和克里奥尔人。 项目7（加利莫尔和戈登堡）将扩大其研究， 西班牙裔儿童的早期学校生活有发展和 教育延迟，项目6（Nihira和Mink）将继续 关于文化适应对家庭影响的纵向研究 亚裔美国儿童发育迟缓。
