在過去七十年，英國的科學家一直在研究數千名孩童的一生，試圖找出為什麼有些人最後快樂又健康，有些卻過得很艱苦。這是世界上人類發展研究中最長的一個研究，他們是世上被研究最透徹的一群人，這些研究能夠改變我們生活、學習，和養育子女的方式。科學新聞工作者海倫皮爾森回顧了這項了不起的研究，並分享了一些重要的發現，以及關於人生和良好養育方式的幾個簡單事實。

一項最長期的人類發展研究教導了我們什麼？

A remarkable 70-year study tracking over 70,000 British children shows that early life circumstances have a powerful impact on future health, happiness, and success. Children born into poverty consistently faced greater challenges, including being a year behind in school by age three. Yet small, engaged acts from parents—like reading daily and taking interest in education—can help children overcome some disadvantages. The research reveals that both poverty and parenting matter deeply, though neither alone tells the full story.
