父亲在语言发展中的作用 年轻，低收入的非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔儿童 摘要 最近对低收入家庭儿童的研究显示， 亲子沟通的质量以及父母输入的数量， 这对儿童语言的成功发展至关重要。早期父母的共同点- 儿童沟通，包括与符号的共同参与和互动的流程 预测语言结果高于父母口头输入（15）或儿童关节的措施 注意力技巧早期联合参与对语言发展的重要性是 在不同的种族群体中表现出来。 然而，大多数研究都集中在母亲身上。更多地研究 少数民族的父亲是至关重要的文件的异质性，以及独特的 低收入少数民族早期语言环境的文化生态 以及在制定预防性干预措施方面促进创新， 支持语言发展和早期学术成功。我们建议利用一个 对低收入非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔儿童的纵向研究，包括 216名2-3岁儿童与父亲互动的视频记录， 妈妈们通过利用现有的视频存档，我们扩展了原始的NICHD 投资，以及降低成本大大相对于成本推出一个新的 纵向研究我们的目标如下： 目的1：描述低收入非裔美国人和 拉丁裔家庭既有广泛的特点，又有文化上的独特性 父亲语言输入的模式和共同参与的质量。 目的2：比较语言输入和联合投入的质量， 非裔美国人和拉丁裔低收入儿童早期父子和母子关系 交互. 目的3：考察早期语言输入、联合投入、 和文化上不同的父亲与孩子的互动模式与语言发展， 非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲人小学早期识字成绩 低收入儿童。 目的4：探讨父-子互动、父-子语言和/或 这些与儿童语言发展和早期识字成绩的关系不同 儿童性别。

The Role of Fathering in the Language Development Among Young, Low-Income African American and Latino Children Abstract Recent studies of low-income children have revealed significant variations in the quality of parent-child communication as well as the quantity of parent input that are important for successful child language development. Shared aspects of early parent- child communication including joint engagement with symbols and the interaction’s flow predict language outcome above measures of parent verbal input (15) or the child’s joint attention skills. The importance of early joint engagement for language development is demonstrated in diverse race-ethnic groups. However, the majority of this research has focused on mothers. More research on ethnic minority fathers is critical to document the heterogeneity in as well as the unique cultural ecology of the early language environments of low-income, ethnic minority children as well as to foster innovation in the development of preventive interventions to support language development and early academic success. We propose to leverage a longitudinal study of low-income African American and Latino children that includes video recordings of 216 2-3 year old children interacting with their fathers and their mothers. By leveraging an existing archive of videos, we extend the original NICHD investment as well as lower costs enormously relative to the cost of launching a new longitudinal study. Our aims are as follows: Aim 1: To describe father-child interactions in low-income African American and Latino families encompassing both broad characteristics as well as culturally distinct patterns of father language input and quality of joint engagement. Aim 2: To compare language input and the quality of joint engagement among African American and Latino low-income children in early father-child and mother-child interactions. Aim 3: To examine the relation between early language input, joint engagement, and culturally distinct patterns of father-child interaction with language development and literacy achievement in early elementary school among African American and Latino low-income children. Aim 4: To explore whether father-child interactions, father-child language, and/or the relation of these with child language development and early literacy achievement differ by child gender.
