Abstract

Temporal aspects of child and adolescent time allocation in diverse cultural settings have been difficult to model using conventional statistical techniques. A new statistical approach, Egocentric Relational Event Modelling (EREM), allows for the simultaneous modelling of activity frequency, duration, and sequencing. Here, EREM is applied to a focal follow dataset of Congolese BaYaka forager child and adolescent play and work activities. Results show that, as children age, they engage in less frequent and extended play bouts and more frequent and extended work bouts. Bout frequency and duration were a more sensitive measure for early sex differences than overall time allocation. Sequential patterns of work and play suggest that these activities have short-term energetic trade-offs. This article demonstrates that EREM can reveal stable and variable patterns in child development.

利用刚果巴亚卡儿童和青少年工作和娱乐的焦点跟随数据证明自我中心关系事件模型的效用

在不同的文化背景下，儿童和青少年时间分配的时间方面很难用传统的统计技术来建模。一种新的统计方法，以自我为中心的关系事件建模(EREM)，允许同时对活动频率、持续时间和顺序进行建模。在这里，EREM被应用于刚果BaYaka觅食儿童和青少年游戏和工作活动的焦点跟踪数据集。结果表明，随着孩子年龄的增长，他们参与的游戏次数和时间会减少，而参与的工作次数和时间会增加。但频率和持续时间是早期性别差异比整体时间分配更敏感的指标。工作和娱乐的顺序模式表明，这些活动有短期的精力消耗。这篇文章证明了EREM可以揭示儿童发展的稳定和可变模式。

期刊介绍： Field Methods (formerly Cultural Anthropology Methods) is devoted to articles about the methods used by field wzorkers in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities for the collection, management, and analysis data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. Articles should focus on innovations and issues in the methods used, rather than on the reporting of research or theoretical/epistemological questions about research. High-quality articles using qualitative and quantitative methods-- from scientific or interpretative traditions-- dealing with data collection and analysis in applied and scholarly research from writers in the social sciences, humanities, and related professions are all welcome in the pages of the journal.
