Abstract

Examined the relation between the Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME) Inventory and several child-status and family-structure variables, namely, sex, race, SES, the amount of crowding in the home, and birth order. MANCOVAs using HOME subscales as criterion measures and the status and structural variables as predictors were performed on data from 79 intact families gathered when the index child was 12 and 24 mo of age. Only crowding and birth order showed consistent relations with HOME scores when the effects of all other predictor variables were controlled. Of the 6 HOME scales, Organization of the Environment, Provision of Appropriate Play Materials, and Maternal Involvement showed the strongest relation to the status and structural measures.
