It also examined relationships between children`s developmental outcomes and ecological variables,including individual,familial,and environmental variables by care methods. The data of 330 mother-care and 161 self-care children was provided by teachers,mothers,and the children themselves. The analyses of the data were conducted by t-test,correlation,and regression. Findings were that mother-care children had higher scores in grades,school adjustment and teacher relationship and lower depression and withdrawn behaviors than self-care children;after-school activities and peer support predicted the developmental outcomes of mother-care children;gender,autonomous ability,and behavior control predicted the development of self-care children..
