中文摘要

本文利用三十年的恒河猴数据,考察早年优势的多代际效应。猴子及其后代均被随机分配为与母亲共同抚养或与母亲分开抚养。我们首次记录了早年优势的代际互补性:母亲抚养的益处仅存在于那些母亲本人也是由其母亲抚养长大的后代身上。这揭示了社会优势的代际动态,以及一项干预措施的价值可能如何取决于上一代的经历。本文展示了灵长类动物研究如何能够为人类发展提供启示。

Abstract

This paper uses three decades of data on rhesus monkeys to investigate the multigenerational effects of early-life advantage. Monkeys and their offspring are both randomly assigned to be reared together or apart from their mothers. For the first time, we document the intergenerational complementarity of early-life advantage, where the benefits of maternal rearing are present only for offspring of mothers who were themselves mother reared. This illustrates the intergenerational dynamics of social advantage and how the value of an intervention can depend on the experiences of the previous generation. Our paper demonstrates how studies of primates can inform human development.
