title: Dataset on the physical and mental development of ethnic minority preschool children
title: 少数民族学龄前儿童身心发展数据

description: According to the distribution of ethnic minority population in Guangxi, 157,598 parents of preschool children from 12 ethnic autonomous counties in Guangxi participated in the assessment. Data on the physical and mental development of preschool children were collected to analyze the distribution characteristics of five major domains: health and physical fitness, language and communication, sociality and emotion, exploration and cognition, and aesthetics and performance. These characteristics were analyzed based on dimensions such as ethnicity, gender, grade, urban and rural areas, and kindergarten attributes. This data collection aims to accumulate resources for the formal implementation of brain and intellectual development assessment and to conduct preliminary exploration. The "Assessment Scale for the Physical and Mental Development of Preschool Children" was used for the assessment. This tool comprehensively covers the five major domains of preschool children's physical and mental development (health and physical fitness, language and communication, sociality and emotion, exploration and cognition, aesthetics and performance) and has high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's &gt; 0.85). Data analysis and visualization were conducted using R language tools such as psych, psychtool, and dplyr. The data is a 157,598*18 data frame, with each row representing a subject record. The first to eighteenth columns represent: individual id, gender, scale code, scores of each dimension of the scale (V1-V7), role of the subject, city address, preschool, city address, grade, urban and rural series, kindergarten attribute, mean, and ethnicity.
