Parental Academic Socialization: Effects of home‐based parental involvement on locus of control across U.S. ethnic groups

Poverty, Race, and Parental Involvement During the Transition to Elementary School

“…For example, our investigation of parental involvement was limited by measures provided in ECLS-K data. Prior research indicates that emotional and motivational forms of homebased involvement are strong predictors of educational outcomes (Suizzo & Soon, 2006;Yan & Lin, 2005), yet ECLS-K does not focus on these forms of involvement. In addition, we examined parental involvement and achievement at one point in time.…”

Parental educational involvement conceived as the arrangement of contingency operations

“…Therefore, parental establishment of the positive reinforcing efficacy of school material and of the stimuli that issue automatically from academic behaviour might ensure that children would read, study and attend to academic matters more frequently, and for longer durations, in the absence of parental supervision. Parental contributions to the establishment of the positive reinforcing potency of the stimuli that are naturally produced when children engage in academic activities would thus appear to constitute the behaviour-analytic equivalent of the 'internalisation of positive parental goals and values' described in the literature of academic socialisation (e.g., Suizzo & Soon, 2006;Taylor, Clayton, & Rowley, 2004). Accordingly, children's reports of parental use of positive reinforcement contingencies in educational interventions might be expected to correlate directly with measures of their academic achievement.…”

Parents’ Perceptions of Their Involvement in Schooling

“…Parents' demographics (e.g., parents' education level, socioeconomic status, and marital status) may be influential on parent involvement. There is a relationship between parents' demographic characteristics and parent involvement (Baroody & Dobbs-Oates, 2009;Cooper, 2010;Cooper et al, 2010;Crosnoe, 2001;Englund et al, 2004;Erdoğan & Demirkasımoğlu, 2010;Hill et al, 2004;Hortacsu, 1995;Suizzo & Soon, 2006). Many studies have investigated the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement or success, and parent's demographics and parental involvement.…”
