The research will study the effects of cultural consonance on early childhood development among families living in poverty. Researchers will interview 100 caregivers and their children to analyze whether caregivers living according to shared cultural values promote more stimulating activities and positive discipline. They will also study 1,000 caregivers and children to examine if children of more culturally consonant caregivers experience less developmental delays. Results will contribute to understanding the direct and indirect impacts of cultural consonance on health and well-being, and which domains most buffer adversity. The award also supports training a graduate student in scientific cultural anthropology.
