Aims and objectives: The aim of this scoping review is to investigate the association between bilingualism in the family and child subjective well-being, by reviewing the literature to identify key themes to date and remaining questions for future research. Methodology: Scopus, Web of Knowledge, ERIC, Psych Articles and PsychInfo were searched systematically between September and October 2018, and after title, abstract and full-text screening, 17 of the initial 1433 articles were included in this review. Data and analysis: Each study was coded for the discipline from which it emerged, the language combination studied, the measures of well-being and language proficiency it used, the geographical location of the study and the number of participants. Data on the link between bilingualism and well-being was extracted from each study. Findings and conclusion: Two main themes were identified: ‘The effect of language proficiency on family relationships’ and ‘The acculturation of parents and children as mediated by language’. Across studies, there was significant heterogeneity in definition of concepts and a diverse range of measures employed. In addition, the studies identified suggest a positive link between minority language maintenance and child well-being, and a positive influence of bilingualism, rather than knowledge of only the home or the majority language. However, the directionality of these relationships will need to be investigated in future research. Originality: This is the first scoping review conducted systematically to explore the link between bilingualism in the family and child well-being internationally. It builds on previous work such as a narrative review which examined this association in the European context.

家庭和儿童福祉中​​的双语：范围界定审查

目的和目标：本范围界定研究的目的是通过审查文献以找出迄今为止的关键主题和尚待进一步研究的问题，来研究家庭中双语与儿童主观幸福感之间的联系。方法：在2018年9月至10月之间系统地搜索了Scopus，Web of Knowledge，ERIC，Psych Articles和PsychInfo，并在标题，摘要和全文筛选后的1433篇初始文章中进行了检索。数据和分析：每项研究均按照其产生的学科，所研究的语言组合，所使用的幸福感和语言水平的度量，研究的地理位置和参加人数进行编码。从每项研究中都提取了双语与幸福之间联系的数据。研究结果和结论：确定了两个主要主题：“语言能力对家庭关系的影响”和“语言介导的父母和孩子的适应”。在整个研究中，概念的定义和所采用的测量方法的范围存在很大的异质性。此外，已确定的研究表明，少数群体语言维护与儿童福祉之间存在积极联系，而且双语者的积极影响不仅是只掌握母语或多数语言，而且还具有积极意义。但是，在以后的研究中将需要研究这些关系的方向性。创意：这是系统地进行的首次范围界定审查，旨在探讨家庭中的双语与国际儿童福祉之间的联系。
