Data from the New Immigrant Survey were used to describe the home environments of 638 children ages birth to 3 years whose parents legally immigrated to the United States. Thirty-two indicators of home conditions were clustered into four domains: discipline and socioemotional in support, learning materials, enriching experiences, and family activities. Results revealed variation in how frequently infants from every country (Mexico, El Salvador, India, Philippines) and region (East Asia, Europe, Caribbean, Africa) studied experienced each home environmental condition. There were differences between countries and regions on many indicators as well as differences based on parents' level of education. The experiences documented for children of recent legal immigrants were similar to those documented for children of native-born families in other studies.
新移民调查的数据被用于描述638名年龄在出生至3岁之间、父母合法移民到美国的儿童的家庭环境。家庭状况的32项指标被归为四个领域:纪律与社会情感支持、学习材料、丰富体验和家庭活动。结果显示,来自每个国家(墨西哥、萨尔瓦多、印度、菲律宾)和地区(东亚、欧洲、加勒比地区、非洲)的婴幼儿经历每种家庭环境状况的频率存在差异。在许多指标上,国家和地区之间存在差异,同时也存在基于父母教育水平的差异。近期合法移民子女的经历与其他研究中记录的本土出生家庭子女的经历相似。
