概括
在Head Start计划中的游乐场质量没有显著影响学龄前儿童的体育活动 (PA) 水平或他们满足国家PA指南的可能性. 在男孩和女孩之间观察到独特的PA模式,需要进一步调查.
科学领域:
- 儿童发展 儿童发展
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 运动学 运动学
背景情况:
- 幼儿护理和教育中心 (ECEC) 对于在学龄前儿童中促进体育活动至关重要.
- 国家PA指导方针建议幼儿特定的活动水平.
- 头部起步身体起步游戏空间评估 (PSA) 是评估游乐场质量的工具,但其对头部起步计划中PA的影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 检查Head Start儿童游乐场质量 (PSA分数) 与学龄前儿童在校日PA参与度之间的关系.
- 调查PSA质量得分与学龄前儿童在Head Start时间满足国家PA指南的可能性之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及3个中心240名Head Start学龄前儿童 (平均年龄3.9岁) 的研究.
- 用PSA评估了游乐场的质量.
- 学前儿童的动力压力被测量使用手腕穿戴的加速度计 (GTX3 Actigraph).
主要成果:
- 大多数学龄前儿童在头部开始时间达到或超过推的PA水平 (77%达到每小时15分钟,90%累计60分钟的MVPA,50%超过180分钟的总PA).
- PSA 游乐场质量评分与学龄前儿童的 PA 量或强度没有显著的关系.
- 在PSA得分和满足国家PA指南之间没有发现显著的关联.
- 根据孩子的性别和参加的Head Start中心,观察到PA参与度的显著差异.
结论:
- 通过PSA测量的Head Start游乐场质量,没有影响学龄前儿童的PA参与或在学时遵守国家指南.
- 未来的研究应该探索在Head Start男孩和女孩之间观察到的独特的PA模式,可能使用PSA.
- 虽然游乐场的质量可能不是直接决定因素,但在Head Start计划中确保足够的PA机会仍然对儿童健康至关重要.

Environmental Influences on Intelligence
133
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.

Naturalistic Observations
15.3K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Nature and Nurture
20.3K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...
