Effects of poverty and quality of the home environment on changes in the academic and behavioral adjustment of elementary school-age children

Abstract

Examined the effects of poverty and the quality of the home environment on changes in the academic and behavioral adjustment of elementary school-age children. Analyses are based on a subset of children (n = 473) from a national data set. The children completed an academic achievement measure in I986 (when they were 5 to 8 years old) and again in 1990. Mothers provided ratings of their children's behavior at the same rime points. Results showed that prior poverty status (number of years in poverty from 1982 to 1985) predicted decreases in math and reading scores and increases in antisocial behavior (from 1986 to 1990). However, number of years in poverty between the 1986 assessment and the 1990 assessment failed to predict changes in adjustment over and above prior poverty status. Quality of the home environment between the two assessments predicted positive changes in adjustment after accounting for poverty status. These effects were independent of child characteristics (i.e., sex, age, and race,) and relevant family background/demographic risk factors that are associated with poverty (i.e., number of children at home, presence of a father figure, mother's age at child's birth, and mother's education).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
