Abstract

The external effect on intelligence has been frequently reported, so the effect of family environment on children intelligence is worth studying. This paper will discuss three sections of the family environment and show that the family situation, children attachment and family SES are partly associated with children cognitive abilities. The effect of the family situation on intelligence is inconsistent in different regions, which needs further research with a larger sample and controlled variables. For attachment styles, the present studies show the securely attached children have better cognitive abilities, but few direct relationship about IQ has been founded and comparison between different insecure attached children is lack. Besides, family SES and children’s IQ are positively correlated, acting as a mediating role but still with some limitations like bidirectional relationship. Briefly, suitable family situation, secure attachment and high family SES may improve children intelligence. However, the future research needs to alleviate the uncertainties and control more relevant factors to offer a more clear method for parents and the government to create an expectable living environment for children.
