Maternal and Family Predictors of School Readiness in Black, Hispanic, and White 6- and 7-Year-Olds Presented: New Orleans, LA, 60th Anniversary Meetings of the Society for Research in Child Development, March 24-28, 1993 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Keyword(s): Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Studies; Fathers, Absence; Hispanics; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parents, Single; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Poverty; School Entry/Readiness; Sex Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study endeavored to determine whether various maternal and family characteristics predictive of school readiness and achievement in 6 and 7 year old children operated in equivalent or dissimilar manners in three ethnic groups: Black, Hispanic, and Caucasian. In all three groups maternal ability level and education, as well as poverty status, showed the most consistent predictive correlations, while single parenthood was not a significant predictor. Spouse education and maternal attitudes towards womens' roles seemed to operate differently depending on ethnicity. |
