“…As a pilot study limited by 1 year of funding, we were caught between rigorous randomization of parents (demanding only one parent per family) or families. We were eager to include as many fathers as possible as fathers are often difficult to enroll or simply not included in research studies . Thus, we randomized families but included both mother and father if both were willing and available to participate in the study.…”

“…The limited research does suggest, however, that fathers can have an influence on child outcomes above and beyond maternal involvement (Greif & Greif, 2004). For instance, fathers' educational involvement has been linked to increased levels of academic achievement (McBride, Schoppe-Sullivan, & Moon-Ho, 2005), more positive school attitudes (Flouri, Buchanan, & Bream, 2002), literacy development (Gadsden & Bowman, 1999), and enhanced teacher-child relationships in aggressive children (Ang, 2006).…”

Practitioners of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation rely on several sources of information to assist in planning and evaluation of consultation efforts. Parental involvement in the home is an important aspect in Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, yet there are few questionnaires available to practitioners to assess this important construct, particularly those that target children’s self-report. This study examined the factor structure and reliability of a new questionnaire to measure children’s perceptions of their parental involvement in learning. The Parental Support for Learning Scale: Child Form (PSLS) was administered to a sample of 231 children (aged 10–13 years). Exploratory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure representing parental involvement behaviors and emotional tone: (a) Parental Management of the Learning Environment, (b) Parental Participation With Homework, (c) Controlling Parental Involvement, and (d) Supportive Parental Involvement. Analysis showed satisfactory reliability coefficients. The four factors are discussed in relation to the relevant literature and Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, and future directions for further validation of the PSLS are discussed.

“…al., 2004). For example, in a review of over 1,000 recent articles in the four leading U.S. school psychology journals fathers were “included substantially in nine articles and were the primary focus of only one…article” (Grief & Grief, 2004). Often, this lack of examining a father’s contribution stems from the assumption that a father’s role in school is nonexistent or subordinate to that of the mother.…”

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the direct and indirect effects of early parenting on later parental school involvement and student achievement. The sample, pulled from the first and second waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics – Child Development Supplement data set, consisted of 390 children ages 2–5 at time 1 and their families. Fathers’ and mothers’ participation in five dimensions of early parenting behaviors were assessed at time 1, while later parental school involvement and student achievement were assessed at time 2. Although early paternal and maternal parenting behaviors were not directly related to later student achievement, differences were revealed in the pattern of relationships between early parenting and later parental school involvement for fathers and mothers. In addition, fathers’ later school involvement was found to be negatively related to student achievement while maternal school involvement was found to be positively related to student achievement. These findings provide partial support for the hypothesized differential relationship between fathers’ and mothers’ early parenting and later student achievement.
