Among the various factors forming the environment, most developmentalists are in agreement that the home is the primary agent for change in child growth and development. The present study investigated the effect of affordances in the home on personal-social, problem-solving, and communication skills of children between 18 and 42 months of age. This investigation extends work focusing on "motor" affordances as an environmental feature.
Using cross-sectional design, 251 families (124 boys and 127 girls) were evaluated using the Persian translation of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development and the Ages and Stages Inventories to determine the three skill competencies.
Results showed that the level of home affordances significantly impacted all three skill areas. And the total variance of predictive values in the final model had a moderate and significant ratio. Other factors such as attendance and non-attendance of children in kindergarten, family income, and education of parents were also contributing factors.
In general, these findings indicate that the home environment plays an important role in the development of personal-social, problem-solving, and communication skills.
在构成环境的各种因素中，大多数发展学家都认为家庭是儿童成长和发展变化的主要因素。本研究调查了家庭中的可供性对 18 至 42 个月儿童的个人-社会、解决问题和沟通技能的影响。这项研究扩展了关注“运动”可供性作为环境特征的工作。
采用横断面设计，使用 Persian 翻译的《家庭环境中的运动发展可供性和年龄与阶段问卷》对 251 个家庭（124 名男孩和 127 名女孩）进行评估，以确定这三种技能能力。
结果表明，家庭可供性水平对所有三个技能领域都有显著影响。最终模型中预测值的总方差具有中等显著比例。其他因素，如儿童上幼儿园的出勤率、家庭收入和父母的教育程度也是影响因素。
总的来说，这些发现表明家庭环境在个人-社会、解决问题和沟通技能的发展中起着重要作用。
