This study examined ethnic differences in the relationship between cosleeping and sleep problems in the United States, taking socioeconomic status (SES) into consideration. The sample consisted of 186 urban families with a healthy 6- to- 48-month-old child and was grouped as follows: white lower SES (n = 40), white higher SES (n = 54), black lower SES (n = 43), and black higher SES (n = 47). Regular cosleeping was associated with increased night waking and/or bedtime protests among lower SES white children and higher SES black children. Among families who coslept, white parents were more likely than black parents to consider their child's sleep behavior to be a problem, i.e., stressful, conflictual, or upsetting as well as regularly occurring. One explanation is that differing childrearing attitudes and expectations influenced how parents interpreted their children's sleep behavior.
本研究在美国考察了同床睡眠与睡眠问题之间关系中的种族差异，并将社会经济地位（SES）纳入考量。样本包括186个有6至48个月健康儿童的城市家庭，分为以下几组：低社会经济地位白人家庭（n = 40）、高社会经济地位白人家庭（n = 54）、低社会经济地位黑人家庭（n = 43）和高社会经济地位黑人家庭（n = 47）。规律的同床睡眠与低社会经济地位白人儿童和高社会经济地位黑人儿童夜间醒来次数增加和/或就寝时间抗议行为增多有关。在同床睡眠的家庭中，白人父母比黑人父母更有可能认为自己孩子的睡眠行为是个问题，即压力大、有冲突或令人心烦，且经常发生。一种解释是，不同的育儿态度和期望影响了父母对孩子睡眠行为的解读。
