Abstract
Relationships among parenting knowledge, quality of stimulation in the home environment, and infant developmental performance were investigated in three socioeconomic status groups. The Infant Caregiving Inventory, Home Scale, Griffiths Scale, and Hollingshead Index were used to measure parenting knowledge, quality of stimulation, infant developmental performance, and socioeconomic status, respectively, in 126 families with 6-month-old infants. In low socioeconomic status families, parenting knowledge was significantly associated with quality of stimulation in the home environment, which in turn was significantly related to infant developmental performance. Implications for parent education programs are discussed.
