Time to Talk: Variability in Caregiver‐Child Verbal Engagement During Everyday Activities Sampled From Daylong Recordings
Children learn language through interactions with others. To document variation in how caregivers engage verbally with their 2‐year‐old children, we sampled six 10‐min segments of dense child‐directed speech from naturalistic daylong audio recordings in an economically‐ and linguistically‐diverse sample of English‐ ( n = 45) and Spanish‐speaking ( n = 45) families. Segments of child‐directed speech occurred during child‐centered (e.g., booksharin…
Mixed Methods Study Protocol: Language Identity, Discrimination, and Mental Health among Multilingual 1.5 Generation Asian/Asian American Immigrant Young Adults
Language identity, an understudied factor, can influence isolation and discrimination, leading to disparities in well-being and mental health among immigrants. This study aims to investigate the role of language identity on structural racism and discrimination among 1.5 generation Asian/Asian American immigrants in a diverse U.S. state. We developed a three-step sequential approach: Stage 1-qualitative analysis (1A, focus group discussion; 1B, in…

Parent-child conversations are impacted by environmental setting. Yet, few studies have considered where mothers and early adolescent youth prefer to have conversations about daily stressors. This study examines where mothers and youth prefer to have conversations about daily stressors, differences in preference based on demographic variables, and why certain environmental settings are preferred. One hundred youth ( M = 11.04, 53% boys) and their…
