ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of Child Development Accounts (CDAs) on parenting practices of mothers with young children in a statewide randomised experiment conducted in the United States. The experiment included 2704 primary caregivers of children born in Oklahoma during 2007: 1358 were randomly assigned to the treatment group and 1346 to the control group. Structural equation modelling suggests that the punitive-parenting score among treatment participants was .12 standard deviations smaller than that among control participants (p < . 05). Findings indicate that CDAs reduce punitive parenting, and may serve as an additional tool for positive parent–child interactions.

儿童发展账户对育儿实践的影响：来自全州随机实验的证据

摘要 本研究在美国进行的一项全州随机实验中检验了儿童发展账户 (CDA) 对有幼儿的母亲的养育做法的影响。该实验包括 2007 年在俄克拉荷马州出生的 2704 名儿童的主要照顾者：1358 人被随机分配到治疗组，1346 人被随机分配到对照组。结构方程模型表明，治疗参与者的惩罚性养育分数比对照参与者小 0.12 个标准差 (p < . 05)。研究结果表明，CDA 减少了惩罚性的养育方式，并可作为积极亲子互动的额外工具。
