After-school activities and the development of low-income urban children
Perceptions of danger
Associations between neighborhood characteristics and adjustment of 168 urban fifth-grade children were explored. High neighborhood risk was associated with parent and teacher reports of child misconduct, and with parent and child reports of child psychological distress, while child and parent perceptions of neighborhood dangers appeared to mediate these associations. Specific neighborhood aspects were also related to child adjustment: higher vio…
Harsh, Firm, and Permissive Parenting in Low-Income Families
Parents' (primarily mothers) reports of their child-rearing expectations and intentions were measured for 184 low-income urban families when children were in the third and fifth grades. Reports of harsh, firm, and permissive parenting strategies were stable over time. Associations between concurrent parenting strategies and children's adjustment also were evident. Endorsements of harsh parenting strategies were associated with teachers reporting …
Low-Income Children's After-School Care
Men's attitudes about family planning in Dakar, Senegal
A survey of men's behaviour and opinions with respect to family planning, undertaken in Dakar in 1986, shows that contrary to popular belief, acceptance of contraception at least for the purpose of spacing births is substantial, even among men from the most conservative backgrounds. Actual use of contraceptives varied considerably across occupations. Among functionaries and students, it ranges between 25 and 49%. Among the working class, prevalen…
The Development of Mental Addition as a Function of Schooling and Culture
This study investigated the development of mental addition in schooled and unschooled children and adults from a traditional mercantile culture (Dioula, Ivory Coast) and one which is technologically advanced (American). Subjects at three age levels were given a series of mental addition problems; both the accuracy of response and strategies were analyzed. By adulthood, the unschooled Dioulas were as accurate as both schooled Dioulas and Americans…
Number Conservation in Two West African Societies
The effects of cultural and educational variables on the development of number conservation were examined among African children from two cultural milieux (agricultural and merchant). A task which evaluated counting skill was also administered to determine if a relationship exists between counting facility and conservation. Schooled Baoule (agricultural) children performed better than unschooled children on conservation. However, a matched group …
