【摘要】目前，尽管美国华人移民家庭和儿童的人口数量迅速增长，但学龄前华裔儿童在研究中仍是一个代表性不足的群体。该项目的首要目的是更深入地了解领先的中国移民父母对儿童社会情感发展的信念、学龄前游戏的价值以及文化取向的潜在作用。该研究遵循混合方法解释性顺序设计的步骤。首先，使用从213名主要照顾者收集的定量数据，该研究采用以人为本的视角来探索父母对学前教育和学业的文化取向和信念的概况，以更好地了解这些概况与儿童社会能力的关联。接下来，来自定量研究的34名主要看护人参加了深入的焦点小组讨论，以进一步探讨父母对孩子的社会行为、文化适应经历以及他们对美国幼儿园的看法。四个可靠的档案被定量解析，并显示了中国移民父母的信仰和文化取向模式的组内差异，这些差异与儿童的社会情感能力相关，这在家庭同伴游戏中得到了证明。定性研究结果证实并阐述了定量研究结果。这些结果强调了与中国移民父母接触以了解研究和项目实践的重要性。【关键词】中国移民父母，华裔儿童，游戏信念，文化取向，低收入，领先，儿童的社会行为
[Abstract] Currently, despite the rapid growth of the population of Chinese immigrant families and children in the United States, preschool-aged Chinese-heritage children are an underrepresented group in research. The overarching purpose of this project was to provide a deeper understanding of Head Start Chinese immigrant parents’ beliefs about children’s social-emotional development, the value of play during the preschool period, and the potential role of cultural orientation. The study followed the steps of a mixed methods explanatory sequential design. First, using quantitative data collected from 213 primary caregivers, the study employed a person-centered lens to explore profiles of parents’ cultural orientations and beliefs about play and academics in preschool to better understand the association of these profiles to children’s social competencies. Next, 34 primary caregivers from the quantitative study participated in in-depth, focus group discussions to further explore parents’ perceptions of children’s social behaviors, cultural adjustment experiences, and their perceptions about U.S. preschools. Four reliable profiles were resolved quantitatively and showed within-group variations in patterns of Chinese immigrant parents’ beliefs and cultural orientations that related differentially to children’s social-emotional competencies as evidenced within peer play at home. Qualitative findings corroborated and elaborated the quantitative findings. These results underscored the importance of engaging with Chinese immigrant parents to inform research and program practices.[key words] Chinese immigrant parents, Chinese-heritage children, play beliefs, cultural orientation, low-income, Head Start, children’s social behavious
