Using data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Early Child Care Research Network (NICHD SECCYD), the authors examined whether interactions between home and child-care quality affect children's social-emotional adjustment at 24, 36, and 54 months (N = 771). Triadic splits on quality of home and child care were used to examine children in specific ecological niches, with a focus on those who experience the double jeopardy of poor quality home and child-care environments. Children in this niche exhibited the highest levels of mother-reported problem behavior and the lowest levels of prosocial behavior. However, there was evidence that children from lower quality home environments were able to benefit from the compensatory influence of high-quality child care. These results suggest policies aimed at the cross-context influences of protective and risky settings.
利用国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所早期儿童保育研究网络（NICHD SECCYD）的数据，作者研究了家庭和儿童保育质量之间的相互作用是否会影响儿童在 24、36 和 54 个月时的社会情感适应情况（N=771）。使用家庭和儿童保育质量的三方分割来研究特定生态位中的儿童，重点关注那些同时处于家庭和儿童保育环境质量差的双重困境中的儿童。处于这种困境中的儿童表现出母亲报告的问题行为最高，亲社会行为最低。然而，有证据表明，来自家庭环境质量较低的儿童能够受益于高质量儿童保育的补偿影响。这些结果表明，政策应着眼于保护性和风险性环境的跨情境影响。
