Children and Youth in Neighborhood Contexts: Tama Leventhal and Jeanne Brooks-Gunn

Regardless of whether the neighbors' children and adolescents are teaching methods of behavior to children, social accepted companions that form them, or even parents they discovered, various things It is affected. Your identity There are obviously many effects on your child's life, but one of its effects is more subtle than the other children. The surrounding environment in which the child grows, more specifically the socio-economic status of the community.

Stability of neighboring areas is another important factor. For example, neighborhood instability is associated with higher drug abuse rates among young people (Leventhal & Brooks-Gunn, 2000). On the other hand, the existence of experts and managers in the community, and the decline in the unemployment rate are related to more favorable results for young people. As the number of professionals and managers in the community declines, the unemployment rate rises and the gender and fertility rate increases in adolescence. The lack of institutional resources (eg education, child care, medical care, employment opportunities) and lack of support for active parenting relationships and practices are also related to these results, but to clarify their impact (Leventhal & Brooks-Gunn), 2000).

At Brooks-Gonn's Technical Committee he also directs Laud Jahromi to explore the long-term research of domestic largest poor families and children, as well as the social and emotional readiness of disadvantaged children and their parent groups Did. Brooks-Gunn's research helps to determine that wealth and other resource differences can significantly affect the success, health, and lifespan of schools and careers. Recently she and other people are using this work to literally explain how poverty, discrimination, and violence affect health.

How Anderson, Leventhal & Dupér 2014 the influence of poor scholars, young people and adolescents are surrounded or pitched in poverty (Anderson, Leventhal & Dupér 2014), how influence of neighboring wealth and poverty on achievement and behavior Research to investigate is done. They want to know how poverty affects scholars and behavior. Does poverty have an adverse effect on academic and behavior, or is it positive? Are their actions showing their personality risk factors? From early childhood to adolescence, these children have a bad relationship with the law, uncertified test scores tend to have higher externalization behavior and have problems. Is this really their fault? Are those possibilities satisfied or prevented by the surrounding environment?
