“…Grolnick et al (1991) and D' Ailly (2003) found that maternal autonomy-supportive parenting predicted children's motivational variables (e.g., perceived autonomy, control, and competence), and, in turn, these motivational variables positively predicted children's academic performance. Moreover, parental control predicted low academic achievement partially through students' high mastery-avoidance and PAVs (Luo et al, 2013). Despite the limited number, these extant studies imply that students' achievement goal orientations may play mediating roles in the relations between two types of parenting (psychological control and autonomy support) and students' academic functioning.…”

We investigated whether and how adolescents' perceived parental psychological control and autonomy support influence their maladaptive academic functioning through their achievement goal orientations. Participants were 845 tenth-grade students (447 boys, Mage = 15.20 ± 0.54 years; 398 girls, Mage = 15.13 ± 0.47 years) in China. Data were collected on their reported achievement goal orientations, perceived parental psychological control and autonomy support, and academic-related beliefs, strategies, and behaviors. Bootstrapping with resampling strategies was used for testing multiple mediators' model and examining mediation effect. Results indicated that, compared with girls, adolescent boys perceived higher parental psychological control. Moreover, we found distinct effects of parental psychological control and autonomy support on adolescents' maladaptive academic functioning through achievement goal orientations. Specifically, parental psychological control led to adolescents' maladaptive academic functioning, mainly through adolescents' performance-approach goal orientation ( . The results suggest that adolescents will benefit from parents ameliorating maladaptive academic functioning through fostering MASs and be harmed from parents facilitating maladaptive academic functioning through enhancing performance-approach and PAVs.

“…We thus expected that taskapproach goals would be the most significant predictor of the study's positive outcomes. Specifically, task-approach goals should be a positive predictor of satisfaction (e.g., Gaudreau 2012; Verner-Filion and Gaudreau 2010), engagement (e.g., Luo et al 2013;Walker and Greene 2009), and positive affect (e.g., Mouratidis et al 2013). In contrast, task-approach goals should be a negative predictor of anxiety (e.g., Ranellucci et al, in press).…”

The main purpose of the present research was to examine the effects of achievement goals (i.e., taskapproach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach, and other-avoidance) and the autonomous and controlling reasons underlying their pursuit on educational (samples 1 and 2) and work (sample 3) outcomes (i.e., engagement, satisfaction, positive affect, and anxiety). The present results revealed that motivations underlying achievement goals are stronger predictors of subjective well-being than the endorsement of goals themselves. Theoretical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Additional parental behaviors and attitudes, such as control of learning (Luo, Aye, Hogan, Kaur, & Chan, ) and high expectations and criticism (Madjar, Voltsis, & Weinstock, ), were found to be related to students' achievement goal orientations; therefore, it is reasonable to assume that parents’ goal emphasis (i.e., goal structures at home) would also be related to their children's goals. However, previous studies have focused on perceived parental goals rather than the actual beliefs of parents and how these beliefs are associated with children's perceptions of their parents.…”

Completing homework assignments is part of students' daily routine. Because this task is embedded within the home environment, parents play an important role in homework‐related attitudes and behaviors. Recent findings have demonstrated that effort and cognitive engagement while doing homework are better proximal predictors of positive outcomes than merely the time spent on it. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether parental goal emphasis explains children's motivational orientation toward homework and the perceived dissonance between home and school. Participants included parent–child dyads (N = 220), who completed surveys adapted from the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales. Path analysis using structural equation modeling indicated that parents’ emphasis on mastery goals was associated with children's mastery goals, which was in turn linked with higher achievement in school. Parents’ emphasis on performance goals was associated with children's performance goals and a higher sense of dissonance between home and school.
