家庭收入、母亲受教育水平与婴幼儿阅读环境的关系:母亲阅读观念的中介作用

The Relationship between Family Income, Maternal Education Level and Literacy Environment for Infants and Toddlers: The Mediating Effect of Maternal Reading Beliefs

研究选取259名7~49个月(平均月龄24.96个月)婴幼儿及其母亲作为被试,通过问卷法考察家庭收入、母亲受教育水平与婴幼儿阅读环境之间的关系,并探讨母亲阅读观念在其中所起作用。结果表明,母亲阅读观念在家庭收入、母亲受教育水平和婴幼儿阅读环境之间均起部分中介作用;具体到阅读环境中的亲子共读活动,家庭收入不能显著预测亲子共读活动,母亲阅读观念在母亲受教育水平和亲子共读活动之间起部分中介作用。

Based on a sample of 259 infants and toddlers aged 7-49 months(mean age 24.96 months) and their mothers, the present study explored the mechanism underlying the effects of family income and maternal education level on literacy environment. The results indicated that maternal reading beliefs served to partly mediate the association between family income, maternal education level and literacy environment. As for Shared Book Reading(SBR) activities, the important part of literacy environment, family income couldn’t predict SBR significantly, maternal education level affected SBR partly through maternal reading beliefs.
