This third-generation, longitudinal study evaluated a family investment perspective on family socioeconomic status (SES), parental investments in children, and child development. The theoretical framework was tested for first-generation parents (G1), their children (G2), and the children of the second generation (G3). G1 SES was expected to predict clear and responsive parental communication. Parental investments were expected to predict educational attainment and parenting for G2 and vocabulary development for G3. For the 139 families in the study, data were collected when G2 were adolescents and early adults and their oldest biological child (G3) was 3-4 years of age. The results demonstrate the importance of SES and parental investments for the development of children and adolescents across multiple generations.
这项第三代、纵向研究评估了家庭投资视角下的家庭社会经济地位(SES)、父母对子女的投资以及儿童发展。理论框架经过第一代父母(G1)、他们的孩子(G2)和第二代孩子(G3)的测试。G1 SES 预计会预测清晰和响应式的父母沟通。父母投资预计会预测 G2 的教育程度和养育子女情况以及 G3 的词汇发展情况。在这项研究中的 139 个家庭中,当 G2 是青少年和早期成年人以及他们的最大生物学孩子(G3)是 3-4 岁时,收集了数据。结果表明 SES 和父母投资对多代儿童和青少年发展的重要性。
