The present study was done to explore the influence of involuntary migration on children's perception of control. Three groups of 50 black South African children each were randomly selected from three types of migrant populations. A control group of 50 nonmigrant children was also formed. To this sample a multidimensional measure of children's perception of control was administered. Analysis showed differences in perception of control by migrant and nonmigrant children as well as among the various groups of migrant children. Such variations were attributed to migration process and differences in educational and socioeconomic status.
本研究旨在探讨非自愿移民对儿童控制感认知的影响。从三种类型的移民群体中,每组随机选取50名南非黑人儿童,共三组。还组建了一个由50名非移民儿童组成的对照组。对该样本进行了儿童控制感认知的多维测量。分析表明,移民儿童和非移民儿童在控制感认知上存在差异,不同移民儿童群体之间也存在差异。这种差异归因于移民过程以及教育和社会经济地位的不同。
