This is no aberration. Immigrant girls consistently outperform boys, according to the preliminary findings of a just-completed, five-year study of immigrant children—the largest of its kind, including Latino, Chinese and Haitian kids—by Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Though that trend holds for U.S.-born kids as well, the reasons for the discrepancy among immigrants are different. The study found that immigrant girls are more adept at straddling cultures than boys. "The girls are able to retain some of the protective features of [their native] culture" because they're kept closer to the hearth, says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco, "while they maximize their acquisition of skills in the new culture" by helping their parents navigate it.
这非常合乎常规。根据哈佛大学教育学研究生院的马赛罗和卡罗拉•苏瑞兹-欧罗科刚刚完成了一项历时五年的初步研究结果——这项研究是同类研究中规模最大的,研究对象为移民子女,其中包括拉丁美洲人、中国人和海地人,移民女孩子的表现一贯比男孩子出色。虽然这种趋势在美国出生的孩子中也存在,但是在移民中产生这种差异的原因却是不相同的。研究发现,移民女孩子比男孩子更善于包容不同的文化。马赛罗•苏瑞兹-欧罗科说,“女孩子能保留本民族文化里的一些保护性特点”,因为女孩子跟家庭的关系更加紧密,所以在帮助父母跨越这一新文化的过程中,“她们最大限度地获取了新文化的技能”。
