This study examined the mediating role of parental cognitive engagement and parental guidance on the associations between family socioeconomic and home environment resource risk factors and children's literacy and social skills in Guyana. The sample consisted of 1208 families from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds drawn from the 2019 to 2020 country-level UNICEF MICS data. Caregivers provided assessments of socioeconomic conditions, educational resources in the home environment, cognitive engagement, parental guidance and children's literacy and social skills. Family socioeconomic risk had an indirect association with social skills through cognitive engagement. Home environment educational resource risk had indirect associations with children's literacy and social skills through parental guidance. Findings are discussed in terms of identifying protective factors within families in low- and middle-income Caribbean countries that can better inform intervention efforts geared at reducing risks to childhood development.
本研究考察了在圭亚那，父母认知参与和父母指导在家庭社会经济与家庭环境资源风险因素与儿童读写能力和社交技能之间的关联中所起的中介作用。样本包括从2019年至2020年国家级联合国儿童基金会多指标类集调查（MICS）数据中抽取的1208个来自不同种族和社会经济背景的家庭。照料者提供了关于社会经济状况、家庭环境中的教育资源、认知参与、父母指导以及儿童读写能力和社交技能的评估。家庭社会经济风险通过认知参与与社交技能存在间接关联。家庭环境教育资源风险通过父母指导与儿童读写能力和社交技能存在间接关联。研究结果从识别加勒比地区低收入和中等收入国家家庭中的保护因素方面进行了讨论，这些因素可为旨在降低儿童发展风险的干预措施提供更好的信息。
