2.	Risk and Protective Factors in Children's Behavioral and Academic Adjustment Presented: Kansas City, KS, Biennial Meetings of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1989 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Children, Academic Development; Children, Adjustment Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Children, Home Environment; Home Environment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Intelligence; Marital Disruption; Marital Instability; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Poverty; Self-Esteem; Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a national longitudinal data set (the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth), this study assessed 1) the degree to which children who experience multiple family stressors (e.g., marital discord, poverty, crowding) are at risk for behavioral and academic adjustment problems; and 2) the potential beneficial impact of "protective factors" (e.g., the child's intelligence, self-esteem, a supportive home environment) for children at risk. Analyses focused on children ages 8-13 (N=740). Results showed that three risk factors significantly increased the likelihood of child behavioral and academic problems: poverty status, crowding (more than three children in the household), and maternal low self-esteem. The frequency of children exhibiting adjustment problems increased dramatically with the number of stressors experienced. In addition, children under stress were significantly better adjusted if they had high rather than low levels of each protective factor. These results have im plications for the identification of children at risk and for the development of interventions to enhance children's stress-protective resources.

Using NLSY child data, information was obtained on a subset of 721 children ages 8-15 and their mothers. Results showed that several risk factors (e.g., poverty status, urban residence, mother's self-esteem) were modestly related to children's academic and behavioral adjustment. Exposure to increasing numbers of risk factors was associated with greater vulnerability to adjustment problems. Several protective factors (e.g., intelligence, self-esteem, quality of the home environment) were also modestly related to children's adjustment, and enhanced the prediction of adjustment above and beyond the contribution of the risk factors. For children exposed to risk, the presence of the protective factors reduced their vulnerability to academic and behavioral difficulties.

ERIC document: EJ441933 This study examines the extent to which home environment and maternal intelligence are predictive of verbal intelligence in two groups of children -- 3-5 year-olds and 6-8 year-olds. Data on approximately 2000 children from the NLSY merged mother-child data set were used for this study. Hierarchical regression was used to assess the relative contribution of home environment and maternal intelligence to children's verbal intelligence as measured by the PPVT-R. For both groups of children, there was a significant relation between home environment and children's verbal intelligence when the effect of maternal intelligence was statistically controlled. Likewise, maternal intelligence was a significant predictor of PPVT-R scores when the effect of home environment was partialled out. For the preschoolers, the effects of home environment and maternal intelligence were of comparable magnitude. For the elementary school children, maternal intelligence was a stronger predictor of PPVT-R scores than home environment. A developmental perspective is used to explain why earlier studies examining these relations have produced inconsistent results.

Data from the Children of the NLSY data set were used to address this question. Variables from four major categories were useful in identifying mothers who were at greatest risk for providing less supportive environments: (1) characteristics of the mother, (2) characteristics of the family of origin, (3) current SES level, and (4) the composition of the mother's household.

9.	Factors in the Adjustment of Latchkey Children Presented: Chicago, IL, Meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association, 1989 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Midwestern Psychological Association Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Problems; Bias Decomposition; Child Care; Child Development; Children, Academic Development; Children, Behavioral Development; General Assessment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Self-Esteem; Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This exploratory study was designed to assess the relationship among various psychological and family background variables and five indices of academic and behavioral adjustment among two groups of children aged 5-12, a latchkey group of children whose primary or secondary child care arrangement was either self-care or care by a sibling under age 15 and a matched group of non-latchkey children. Using data from the Children of the NLSY, the study found little evidence for any overall differences in academic or behavioral problem adjustment between the groups of latchkey and non-latchkey children. Some preliminary evidence was found for an effect on adjustment of number of hours in self-care; however, other factors such as the child's intelligence, quality of interaction in the home, and self-esteem interacted with the number of hours in self-care to account for significant amounts of the variance in academic and behavioral adjustment. Implications for future research are discussed.
