“…Although the literature underlines the impact of peer group on student attitudes and behaviors, particularly during adolescence (Keefe & Berndt, 1996;Rubin, Bukowski, Parker, & Bowker, 2008), a substantial number of studies on student engagement in school have focused on adult influence (Gest, Rulison, Davidson, Welsh, & Domitrovich, 2008). Several aspects of family context have been considered, especially socioeconomic and sociocultural characteristics (Boxer, Goldstein, DeLorenzo, Savoy, & Mercado, 2011;Chau, Baumann, Kabuth, & Chau, 2012;Davis-Kean, 2005;Gohain, 2012;Parker et al, 2012), family relationships (Chen, 2008;Furrer & Skinner, 2003;Hughes & Kwok, 2007), students' perceptions of family support (N. Bowen & Bowen, 1998;Veiga, 2009;Wentzel, 1998), and parenting practices (Baumrind, 1983;SimonsMorton & Haynie, 2002;Simons-Morton & Chen, 2009;Steinberg & Morris, 2001).…”
