Supporting data for "Can Boarding versus Day School Experience Make a Difference for Rural Chinese Preschoolers’ Development?"

This dataset is the supporting dataset for
my doctoral thesis. Study one is about the stress response and behavior
adjustment during the transition to preschool for three months. There are two
data files for study one: One for saliva assay result (stress response
indicators, cortisol, and saliva alpha-amylase), and the other for
questionnaire results (boarding status, control variables, demographics, school
refusal, and caregiver-reported problem behaviors).

Study two is about the one-year
developmental difference for boarders and non-boarders across domains
(physical, social and academic). The one data file for study two includes
boarding status, demographics, control variables, and developmental outcome
variables.

本数据集为我的博士论文之辅助数据集。研究一聚焦于儿童在从幼儿园过渡期前三个月的应激反应与行为调整。研究一包含两个数据文件：其一为唾液检测结果（应激反应指标、皮质醇和唾液α-淀粉酶），其二为问卷调查结果（寄宿状态、控制变量、人口统计学信息、学校拒绝情况以及照料者报告的问题行为）。研究二探讨了寄宿生与非寄宿生在一年内各领域（身体、社交和学术）的发展差异。研究二的数据文件包含寄宿状态、人口统计学信息、控制变量以及发展结果变量。
