“…Offspring's decision‐making can be affected by their parents in either forcing them to obey or molding their preferences (Doepke & Zilibotti, 2017). However, recent research also proposes that there is a high correlation between parents' characteristics and their offspring's behavioral intention (Khadjavi & Nicklisch, 2018; Yen et al, 2021). For example, offspring's competitiveness has been related to their parents' ambitions (Khadjavi & Nicklisch, 2018).…”

“…For example, offspring's competitiveness has been related to their parents' ambitions (Khadjavi & Nicklisch, 2018). A recent study suggests a relationship between parents' social comparison orientation and their offspring's cooperation in PGG (Yen et al, 2021). Moreover, there is evidence on the transmission of cooperative behaviors from parents to their offspring (Ben‐Ner et al, 2017; Cipriani et al, 2013).…”

A sense of resource availability creates a scarcity mindset, leading people to behave in a more competitive way instead of in a collaborative way. This study aims to examine the relationship between scarcity mindset and cooperative behaviors among parents and offspring, and to explore whether parents' scarcity mindset is related to their offspring's scarcity mindset and cooperative behaviors. We collected 239 parent–offspring pairs from several universities in northwest China. They completed the scarcity mindset scale and a one‐shot public good game (PGG). A path model analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between scarcity mindset and cooperative behaviors for offspring and their parents, respectively. The relationship between parental scarcity mindset and offspring's cooperative behaviors was also examined. The results showed that there was a high correlation of scarcity mindset between parents and their offspring. Scarcity mindset was negatively related to cooperative behaviors among both parents and offspring. In addition, both parents' cooperative behaviors and offspring's scarcity mindset mediated the relationship between the parental scarcity mindset and offspring's cooperative behaviors. Our results supported the idea that scarcity mindset triggers competitive rather than cooperative orientation. The present findings reveal an intergenerational relationship between scarcity mindset and cooperative behaviors by highlighting the impacts of parental scarcity mindset on that of their offspring's and its additional effects on offspring's cooperative behaviors.

“…Furthermore, awareness of the impact of the family environment as counter-spaces for minorities of young people where identities are affirmed and a decisive influence is exerted at a socio-cultural level, derived from the pandemic, are another relevant focus of study [22]. It is also worth noting the negative impact on socioemotional development, which can be generated by an excess of social comparisons within the family environment [23], along with other important variables to consider, such as those pointed out by Mulholland et al [24], through migration and intergenerational conflict in South Australia, by the assimilation of different sex and gender norms from the country of origin and resettlement, providing guidelines on how to positively influence a two-way and inclusive communicative process.…”

The promotion of intergenerational dialogue is postulated as one of the most frequently used strategies to promote meaningful learning. The objective is to analyze the impact of intergenerational dynamics on the learning process. To this end, this work is based on the methodology of a systematic review following the PRISMA method through the establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria and analysis of their suitability. The priority indicator was to collect empirical experiences in the WOS and Scopus databases that implemented strategies on intergenerational learning and promoted improvements in learning, obtaining a total of 14 documents to be analyzed. The results of the review reaffirm the effectiveness of promoting dynamics of this type, observing positive outcomes in different sets of samples in six main areas: (1) attitudes, well-being, and happiness; (2) integration of vulnerable groups; (3) improvement of family relationships; (4) promotion of social and human values; (5) prevention of diseases and increased knowledge about health; and (6) combating the generational digital divide. There are also weaknesses associated with these experiences, such as the strong involvement required by the participants or the initial prejudices that exist between one generation and another.

“…Parents’ tutoring anxiety may be associated with their social comparison and perceived online academic futility. Frequent social comparison may produce negative emotions (e.g., anxiety, dissatisfaction, deprivation, anger) (Blanton, 2001 ; Crosby, 1976 ; Lockwood & Kunda, 1997 ; Olson et al, 1986 ) and reduce parents’ happiness (Yen et al, 2020 ). At the same time, scholars point out that these negative emotions (e.g., tutoring anxiety) make parents doubt their children’s online learning performance and reduce parental perceived online learning effects (Harjule et al, 2021).…”

“…Parents, as special individuals in the family, may also conform to this regular pattern. For example, parents’ frequent social comparisons can generate negative feelings on themselves (Mendes et al, 2017 ; Yen et al, 2020 ). as well as depression and frustration on their children (Lee et al, 2020 ), leading to negative evaluations of online learning.…”

Impact of social comparison on perceived online academic futility: A perspective from parents

et al. 2022

In response to the wide-ranging concern of online academic futility, the current study aimed to explore the independent variables and mediating variable from a novel perspective of parents during COVID-19. Based on the social comparison theory and the control-value theory of achievement emotions, social comparison and tutoring anxiety were incorporated into an integrated model as predictors and mediator, respectively. A total of 300 parents completed an online survey. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated that upward social comparison and downward social comparison were both positively related to tutoring anxiety, which in turn positively predicted perceived online academic futility. Notably, tutoring anxiety played a significant mediating role in the association between different social comparison and perceived online academic futility. These results highlight the consistent predictive effect of upward social comparison and downward social comparison on perceived online academic futility, shedding light on the roles of tutoring anxiety in explaining the relationship from parental perspectives.
