Recent policy briefs have drawn attention to the use of exclusionary discipline in early learning settings; however, little is known about child-level correlates associated with risk of exclusion. This omission is important, as early childhood education may reduce the likelihood of later delinquent and criminal behavior. Additionally, exclusion from early learning may label a child as deviant, contributing to an accumulation of disadvantage that may place the child at greater risk for delinquency and crime over the life-course. The current study applies Moffitt’s (1993) life-course theory to better understand child-level correlates associated with exclusionary discipline in early childhood. Using data from the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health (N = 5876), results indicate neuropsychological deficits in early childhood are associated with a 1.38 unit increase in odds of removal from early learning environments. Furthermore, in support of Moffitt’s (1993) interactional hypothesis, exposure to adverse experiences (ACEs) was found to moderate the association between neuropsychological deficits and odds of exclusion, such that children with more indicators of neuropsychological deficits and a greater number of ACEs were more likely to experience exclusion than those with fewer ACEs. Implications for policy and directions for future research are discussed.

童年时期不良经历、神经心理缺陷和排他性管教经历之间的关联

最近的政策简报引起了人们对在早期学习环境中使用排他性纪律的关注;然而,人们对与被排斥风险相关的儿童水平相关性知之甚少。这种遗漏很重要,因为早期儿童教育可能会减少以后犯罪和犯罪行为的可能性。此外,排除在早期学习之外可能会给孩子贴上离经叛道的标签,导致不利因素的累积,这可能使孩子在整个生命过程中面临更大的犯罪和犯罪风险。目前的研究应用 Moffitt (1993) 的生命历程理论来更好地理解儿童早期与排他性纪律相关的儿童水平相关性。使用 2016 年全国儿童健康调查(N = 5876),结果表明儿童早期的神经心理缺陷与从早期学习环境中移除的几率增加 1.38 个单位有关。此外,为了支持 Moffitt (1993) 的交互假设,发现不良经历 (ACE) 可以缓和神经心理缺陷与排斥几率之间的关联,因此具有更多神经心理缺陷指标和更多 ACE 的儿童可能比那些拥有较少 ACE 的人遭受排斥。讨论了对未来研究的政策和方向的影响。
