Project Description
This study included 72 targeted children with 36
5-year-olds (middle) and 35 6-year-olds. Children’s SES was
divided into high SES(43) group and low SES group(29). However, the data on
SES is no longer available. All the
children came from Shanghai. 49 were local children, and 23
had just moved in to Shanghai. Children from all the families used Mandarin
Chinese (Putonghua) or their own dialects during the dinner talk. The average
time of dinner conversation was 18.5 minutes. There were three videotapes
for each child in order to get the best one for the
sake of research convenience. If you have any questions, please contact
