InBrief: The Science of Neglect
ネグレクトの科学

深刻なネグレクト―混乱した状態や養育者の反応が得られない状態が持続する―は、身体的暴力よりも、長期にわたって子供達の発達に悪影響を及ぼします。
認知機能の遅れ、実行機能の障害、身体的なストレス反応の障害などがみられます。ここでは、幼児期の深刻なネグレクトがなぜそれほど有害なのか、また有効な介入がなぜ学習や健康、次世代の養育など、長期のより良い結果につながっていくことになるのかについて説明しています。

Extensive biological and developmental research shows significant neglect—the ongoing disruption or significant absence of caregiver responsiveness—can cause more lasting harm to a young child’s development than overt physical abuse, including subsequent cognitive delays, impairments in executive functioning, and disruptions of the body’s stress response. This edition of the InBrief series, here in Japanese, explains why significant deprivation is so harmful in the earliest years of life and why effective interventions are likely to pay significant dividends in better long-term outcomes in learning, health, and parenting of the next generation. This 6-minute video provides an overview of The Science of Neglect: The Persistent Absence of Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain, a Working Paper from the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child.
