Influence of Neighborhood Poverty on Personality Change Presented: Atlanta, GA, Biennial Meetings of the Society for Research in Child Development, April 6, 2005. Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Keyword(s): Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Neighborhood Effects; Poverty; Temperament Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The influence of neighborhoods on childhood development has received considerable attention in recent years. There have been studies of the effects of neighborhoods on cognitive development, academic achievement, and elinquency, with most of these studies converging on the conclusion that neighborhoods with high levels of poverty are less developmentally supportive than are more affluent neighborhoods. In this poster, the relation of neighborhood poverty to change in personality was studied. Our prediction was that children living in high poverty neighborhoods would be more likely to evidence maladaptive changes in personality structure than children living in low poverty neighborhoods. |
