Chinese Parental Involvement and Children’s School Readiness: The Moderating Role of Parenting Style

Be Strong or Weak: The Contribution of Parenting Style toward Parent Involvement Motivation in Accompanying Children During Learning from Home

“…Darling and Steinberg (1993) proposed that parenting style and parental involvement motivation are important for investigating children's socialization activities. This is in line with Xia et al (2019) who suggested that programs designed to increase parental involvement in children's school readiness take into account the socio-emotional aspects of parenting styles. The practice of parenting style is a behavior used by parents to be involved in socializing children's activities, and parenting style as a contextual variable that can create a child's personal emotional climate.…”

“…It means the percentage of variation in the magnitude of the change in the motivational variable for parental involvement that can be explained by authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles is 45%, while the rest of 55% is influenced by other factors outside this regression equation. Other factors that can affect the motivation for parental involvement, for example, the socioeconomic status of parents (Green et al, 2007), satisfaction of parental needs (Katz et al, 2011), children's academic achievement (Grolnick, 2016;Wright et al, 2018;Yang & Zhao, 2020), children's learning interest and school readiness (Manan et al, 2021;Xia et al, 2019), and parental aspirations (Đurišić & Bunijevac, 2017).…”

“…Home-based involvement includes parents providing a literacy-rich home environment, assisting children's learning, and discussing schoolrelated issues with their children. It promotes communication with teachers about children's progress and problems (Xia et al, 2019).…”

Work-Family Conflict, Enrichment, and Adolescent Academic Adjustment in Dual-Earner Family

“…In present China, both mothers and fathers must often balance work and childcare obligations. In dual-earner families, however, gender roles are likely to be more traditional such that fathers serve as the primary financial providers while mothers are mainly responsible for the children ( Fan and Chen, 2020 ; Xia et al, 2020 ). These gender-related differences may lead parents to experience work-family spillover in different ways, given their distinct perceptions regarding work and family, although few studies to date have explored this possibility.…”

The Role of Parental Involvement, Including Parenting Beliefs and Styles, in the Academic Success of American Indian Students

“…While Boonk et al (2018) suggested that the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement varies by race/ethnicity, Brayboy and Maaka (2015) suggested that, for American Indian students, parental support and encouragement are two of the most important indicators of educational attainment. Several researchers have found that parental involvement is related to other constructs such as rational/irrational parenting beliefs (David et al, 2018; Trip et al, 2019; Warren, 2018) and parenting style (Fernández-Alonso et al, 2017; Xia, 2016). For example, Warren (2018) explicated how rational/irrational beliefs influence the manner in which parents are involved in their children’s education, and Amani et al (2020) found that the relationship between parental involvement and achievement was dependent upon parenting style.…”
