This study examined English school poverty effects on trajectories of child behaviour across ages 3, 5, 7 and 11, and the moderating roles of ethnicity and gender. School poverty predicted internalising and externalising problems concurrently, and internalising problems longitudinally. In poor schools, girls had a steeper incline in internalising problems, but made greater reductions in externalising problems. Ethnic differences were also found in the association between school poverty and child adjustment. Gender and ethnic background may influence how a child responds emotionally and behaviourally to the composition of peers at school.
本研究考察了英国学校贫困对儿童行为轨迹的影响,这些轨迹跨越了 3 岁、5 岁、7 岁和 11 岁,同时还考察了种族和性别因素的调节作用。学校贫困状况预测了儿童的内外向问题,并且与儿童的内向问题存在纵向关联。在贫困学校中,女孩的内向问题呈更陡峭的上升趋势,但在外部问题上的改善幅度更大。在学校贫困与儿童适应能力之间的关系上,也发现了种族差异。性别和种族背景可能会影响儿童对学校同伴组成的情感和行为反应方式。
