本研究主要探討新住民幼兒與本國籍幼兒的社會能力發展軌跡，以及了解新住民幼兒的學齡前送托機構(托嬰中心或幼兒園)送托時間與其社會能力發展軌跡的關聯性。採用「臺灣幼兒發展調查資料庫（KIT）」36月齡組第一波至第三波資料（36月齡、48月齡、60月齡）研究對象為103位新住民幼兒及114位本國籍幼兒。資料以獨立樣本t檢定（Independent Sample t test）及潛在成長模型進行分析（Latent Growth Modeling, LGM）。研究結果發現：一、新住民幼兒在三波次36、48及60月齡的社會發展能力皆顯著落後本國籍幼兒。二、新住民幼兒在三波次36、48及60月齡社會能力的成長軌跡之起始值與本國籍幼兒有顯著差異，但在社會能力的成長速率與本國籍幼兒無顯著差異。三、在60月齡所累積的「送托時間」對於新住民幼兒整體社會能力的初始值及成長速率皆有顯著的正向關聯。本研究建議新住民幼兒主要照顧者，可以盡早讓新住民幼兒進入托嬰中心或幼兒園就讀，促使其社會能力的發展。

This study explores the social development trajectories of new immigrant children and native-born children. Specifically, it examines the association between the preschool attendance time (in daycare centers or kindergartens) among new immigrant children and their social development trajectories. The study uses data from the “Kids in Taiwan: National Longitudinal Study of Child Development & Care (KIT)” database, focusing on the M36 cohort across the first three waves (36 months, 48 months, and 60 months). The study participants consisted of 103 new immigrant children and 114 native-born children. The data were analyzed using Independent Samples t-tests (t-test) and Latent Growth Modeling (LGM). The research findings are as follows: (1) New immigrant children significantly lagged behind native-born children in social development at 36, 48, and 60 months. (2) The two groups did not differ significantly in the growth rates of their social abilities. (3) The accumulated childcare attendance time by 60 months was significantly and positively associated with both the initial levels and growth rates of the overall social abilities among new immigrant children. The study recommends that primary caregivers of new immigrant children consider early enrollment of their children in daycare centers or kindergartens to promote social development.
