OBJECTIVE
This study examines the implications of grandparental death for cognitive skills in middle childhood.
METHOD
This study uses data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 2479) to estimate ordinary least squares regression models of the associations between grandparental death and subsequent cognitive skills among children in middle childhood.
RESULTS
Experiencing a grandparental death between ages 5 and 9 is associated with boys' lower reading, verbal, and math scores at age 9, with associations most notable for Black and Hispanic boys; grandparental death before age 5 has minimal influence on boys' cognitive skills at age 9. There is little indication that grandparental death adversely affects girls' cognitive skills.
CONCLUSION
The numerous and persistent implications of grandparental death for boys' cognitive skills merit greater recognition of grandparental death as a source of family instability, stress, and ultimately inequality in child development.
目的
本研究探讨了祖父/母去世对儿童中期认知技能的影响。
方法
本研究使用“家庭未来和儿童福利研究”（Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study）的数据，采用普通最小二乘法回归模型估计了祖父/母去世与儿童中期儿童随后的认知技能之间的关联。
结果
在 5 至 9 岁之间经历祖父/母去世与男孩在 9 岁时的阅读、语言和数学成绩较低有关，对于黑人和西班牙裔男孩来说，关联最为显著；在 5 岁之前祖父/母去世对男孩在 9 岁时的认知技能几乎没有影响。祖父/母去世对女孩认知技能的不良影响迹象很少。
结论
祖父/母去世对男孩认知技能的众多且持续的影响，需要更充分地认识到祖父/母去世是家庭不稳定、压力以及最终儿童发展不平等的一个来源。
