Great Expectations: The Biasing Effects of Reported Child Behavior Problems on Educational Expectancies and Subsequent Academic Achievement

Parental Expectations and Children's Academic Performance in Sociocultural Context

“…This motivational function of parental expectations is supported by eight articles demonstrating a strong association between parental expectations and students' expectations or aspirations (Benner and Mistry 2007;Beutel and Anderson 2008;Carpenter 2008;Hao and Bonstead-Burns 1998;Rutchick et al 2009;Smith-Maddox 2000;Trusty 2002;Trusty et al 2003). A recent longitudinal study of 884 children aged 6 to 13 years when the study began demonstrated the long-lasting effect of parental expectations on children's expectations.…”

“…The authors found that parental expectations were closely related to students' expectations 5 years later even after controlling for demographic variables and children's previous achievement scores. Parental expectations also influenced their children's later achievement scores via the mediating effect of children's expectations (Rutchick et al 2009). …”

“…While most of the research conducted to date has been cross-sectional, a few longitudinal studies offer particularly powerful evidence that parental expectations are a causal determinant of student expectations and academic outcomes (Rutchick et al 2009;Trusty et al 2003). Additionally, two meta-analyses have found that parental expectations are the strongest family-level predictor of student achievement outcomes, exceeding the variance accounted for by other parental beliefs and behaviors by a substantial margin (Jeynes 2005(Jeynes , 2007.…”

Las expectativas parentales no explican el rendimiento escolar

“…Apoyo parental y autoconcepto filial producirían mayor rendimiento académico, que a su vez los reforzaría. Muchas investigaciones confirmaron la fuerte relación entre expectativas parentales y autoconcepto y expectativas filiales (Neuenschwander, Vida, Garrett y Eccles, 2007;Rutchick, Smyth, Lopoo y Dusek, 2009;Seginer, 1983;Yamamoto y Holloway, 2010;Trusty, Plata y Salazar, 2003). La relación entre expectativas y apoyo parentales es mucho más discutida (Hughes et al, 2013).…”

“…La relación entre expectativas y apoyo parentales es mucho más discutida (Hughes et al, 2013). Mientras algunos estudios encuentran relación entre ambas (Rutchick et al, 2009), otros no hallan relación significativa (Englund, Luckner, Whaley y Egeland, 2004;Trusty, et al, 2003). Esas discrepancias pueden deberse a diferencias metodológicas, especialmente a la diversidad de formas de medir la implicación parental (Yamamoto y Holloway, 2010;Fan, 2001), así como al hecho de que en muchos casos la mayor implicación puede ser una respuesta a problemas escolares (Lee y Bowen, 2006).…”
