“…This finding further supports the view that student's interest and personal choice far supersedes the influence of relations or close friends, tutors, family members or celebrities as opposed to Stafford (1994). Our finding also appears to be inconsistent with some past studies on career choice decisions that have shown that parental influence and tutors have significant influence on student choice of careers (Hebert &Pagnani, 2009;Bradford, Buck, & Myers, 2001). …”

“…Finally, black fathers engage in positive racial socializing practices, sending their children messages of racial pride, preparing them to navigate potential racial barriers, and emphasizing racial resiliency and self-determination (Mandara 2006;Greif, Hrabowski, and Maton 1998). These types of paternal involvement practices are associated with increased academic and professional achievement, decreased delinquency, and overall well-being of black children (Caldwell et al 2004;Dubowitz et al 2001;Hebert, Pagnani, and Hammond 2009).…”

This study examines how black fathers and sons in the U.S. conceptualize manhood and masculinity and the racial socializing practices of black men. Drawing upon data from an ethnography on Black male schooling, this paper uses the interviews with fathers and sons to explore how race and gender intersect in how Black males make meaning of their gendered performances. Common notions of manhood are articulated including independence, responsibility and providership. However, race and gender intersect in particular ways for black men. The fathers engaged in particular racial socializing practices preparing their sons for encounters with racism. Both fathers and sons adopted black existentialist perspectives, emphasizing self-determination and resilience as racially and politically motivated acts of resistance. Finally, the paper describes how the fathers modeled to their sons how to navigate racialized spaces as black men.

“…White and Asian American parents were the most likely to identify self-satisfaction in their definitions of academic success, whereas fathers of all ethnicities were more likely than mothers to emphasize external definitions of success such as high grades or entry to a successful college or career path (Ablard, 1996(Ablard, /1997. Fathers of high-achieving gifted males were also found to hold high standards for their sons and to share in their son's sense of accomplishment (Hébert, Pagnani, & Hammond, 2009). …”

Despite numerous calls for research on parents of gifted learners, researchers have given only cursory treatment to the topic. In this article, the authors review and synthesize 53 sources, published since 1983, on parents of gifted learners. Existing research on parents of gifted learners may be categorized into three thematic areas that include (a) parent influence, (b) parent perceptions of giftedness and ability, and (c) parent satisfaction with gifted programming. Theory-driven research is conspicuously absent from this body of work, and study designs emphasize self-report measures and lack control groups. The analysis of this literature reveals gaps in the research record and offers recommendations about where future research should be focused. These areas include attitudes, values, and expectations of families of underserved gifted children; relationships between parents and schools; parents' understanding of giftedness; parents of gifted underachievers; and how parents support and influence their children at home.
