A cross-cultural study was conducted to determine the generality of child-environment relationships in Japanese and American families with educable mentally retarded (EMR) children. A total of 90 families with EMR children in Japan and 93 families with EMR children in America participated. The Henderson Environment Learning and Process Scale, Family Environment Scale, and Home Quality Rating Scale were employed in home interviews and observations. The AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale was used to measure social competency and psychosocial adjustment of the children. The results indicated that the relation between cognitive opportunities at home and the child's social competency appeared similar between the two cultures. However, the relation between the affective aspects of home environment and the child's psychosocial adjustment appeared to differ between the two cultures.
开展了一项跨文化研究，以确定日本和美国有可教育智力迟钝（EMR）儿童的家庭中儿童与环境关系的普遍性。日本共有90个有EMR儿童的家庭和美国93个有EMR儿童的家庭参与了研究。在家访和观察中使用了亨德森环境学习与过程量表、家庭环境量表和家庭质量评定量表。美国智力缺陷协会适应性行为量表用于测量儿童的社会能力和心理社会适应情况。结果表明，两种文化中家庭认知机会与儿童社会能力之间的关系似乎相似。然而，家庭环境情感方面与儿童心理社会适应之间的关系在两种文化中似乎有所不同。
