The objectives of the present study were to describe civic attitudes and behaviors among Latinx child farmworkers in North Carolina, examine civic outcomes across relevant demographic characteristics, and discuss the implications for research on sociopolitical development among Latinx child farmworkers and for developmental theory. Descriptive statistics (count, percent, or mean, standard deviation as appropriate) were calculated for demographic and civic variables. Associations between the demographic variables and the four civic summary variables were calculated using Generalized Linear Models, the Kruskal-Wallis test, t-tests, or Chi-Square tests. Latinx child farmworkers in North Carolina ( = 169; ages 11-19, = 15.8, 62.7% boys) endorsed relatively high levels of beliefs that society is fair and connections/efficacy in their communities. They reported relatively low involvement in volunteering and political activity. Future work should examine how the daily lives and experiences of child farmworkers inform their developing ideas about civic life in the US and their behavioral participation as they mature.
本研究的目的是描述北卡罗来纳州拉丁裔儿童农场工人的公民态度和行为，考察相关人口特征的公民结果，并讨论对拉丁裔儿童农场工人社会政治发展研究以及发展理论的启示。对人口统计学和公民变量计算了描述性统计量（计数、百分比或均值、标准差，视情况而定）。使用广义线性模型、Kruskal-Wallis检验、t检验或卡方检验计算人口统计学变量与四个公民总结变量之间的关联。北卡罗来纳州的拉丁裔儿童农场工人（n = 169；年龄11 - 19岁，M = 15.8，62.7%为男孩）认可社会公平以及他们在社区中的联系/效能的信念水平相对较高。他们报告的志愿服务和政治活动参与度相对较低。未来的工作应研究儿童农场工人的日常生活和经历如何影响他们对美国公民生活的发展观念以及他们成年后的行为参与。
