The child sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (n.d.) was analyzed to examine the relation of undesirable personality change in early childhood to neighborhood economic deprivation. Participants in the survey who had complete data at Time 1 (3-4 years of age) and Time 2 (5-6 years of age) and who remained in the same neighborhood during both time periods were included in the analyses. The results indicated that neighborhood economic disadvantage was associated with undesirable personality change even after controlling for family-level variables such as maternal education, family income, and cognitive and emotional support in the home environment for children. The association of personality change with neighborhood economic deprivation was not mediated by maternal depression, Head Start participation, cognitive and emotional support in the home, or maternal trust in the neighborhood. The authors discuss recommendations for future investigations.
对全国青年纵向调查（年份未注明）中的儿童样本进行了分析，以研究幼儿期不良人格变化与邻里经济贫困之间的关系。调查中在时间1（3 - 4岁）和时间2（5 - 6岁）拥有完整数据且在这两个时间段都居住在同一邻里的参与者被纳入分析。结果表明，即使在控制了家庭层面的变量，如母亲教育程度、家庭收入以及家庭环境中对孩子的认知和情感支持之后，邻里经济劣势仍与不良人格变化有关。人格变化与邻里经济贫困之间的关联并未通过母亲抑郁、参与“启智计划”、家庭中的认知和情感支持或母亲对邻里的信任来介导。作者讨论了对未来调查的建议。
