- Summary:
-
To assess the long-term effects of an intensive, five-year day care intervention by the Syracuse University Children's Center with children from multi-risk, low-income families, 65 program participants and 54 comparison subjects were questioned when they were in the eighth and ninth grades. Additional data were gathered from their parents and teachers. Lengthy questionnaires administered to children, parents, and teachers focused on children's social interaction, emotional well-being, self-esteem, creativity, and academic achievement. Patterns in the data were located with Guttman's facet analytic approach to test analysis. Items were reviewed and a simple mapping sentence was written to capture the content of most items. Items were recoded to insure that all were scored in the same direction with respect to the range of the mapping sentences. Variables were intercorrelated and a Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) was performed on the correlation matrix. Correspondences were sought between facets and the empirical organization of the items in the SSA analysis. A high degree of correspondence was found. To compare participants with controls, sum scores were assigned and a multivariate analysis of variance was performed. A significant effect was found for the interaction between intervention group and sex on the teacher questionnaire only. Supporting previous findings, MANOVAs for males and females revealed lasting intervention effects for girls only. (RH)
