“…These findings make logical sense because the more one believes in their own academic abilities, the more one may be willing to engage in academic activities, which then may lead to increased success in academics. Other studies have found that the quality of the mother-child relationship is positively related to children's self-efficacy, especially among daughters (Lombe et al, 2009). This research is in line with Social Cognitive Theory because within a healthy mother-child relationship, there are likely many builders of self-efficacy like mothers leading their children to believe in their abilities and mothers modeling efficacious behaviors.…”

Despite lack of supportive university policy, student parents are both highly motivated and high-achieving. Little research has investigated how children are affected by their mothers pursuing higher education. Previous research found a positive relationship between mothers’ student role motivation and children’s academic motivation. There are also additional factors related to mothers’ direct interactions with their children (e.g., attitude in helping with homework) that are partial mediators for this relationship. There has not been enough research investigating other mechanisms through which student mothers may impact their children. The present study sought to examine how student mothers affect their children through unintentional role-modeling, like studying in their children’s presence. Using surveys, this study assessed the relationships between children’s observations of their mothers’ student role and children’s academic self-efficacy, growth mindset, and academic performance. It was predicted that positive relationships would be found among these variables. The data showed a negative relationship between children’s perceptions of their mothers’ student role and children’s growth mindset. All other correlations were found to be insignificant. Content analyses of free responses showed areas where student mothers, especially Mothers of Color, need more university support. This research has implications for interventions of support for student parents.

“…Supporting this notion, several studies showed that emerging adults' perceptions of parental work experiences and attitudes have a stronger relationship with their own experiences and attitudes among those who feel close to and identify with their parents (e.g., Barling et al, 1998Barling et al, , 1999Kelloway et al, 1996). Previous research also found that parental impact on self-efficacy increases as the parent-child relationship becomes closer (e.g., Lombe et al, 2009).…”

Despite the well-known benefits of work–family balance self-efficacy (WFBSE), little is known about its predictors. This study addresses this gap by examining predictors of WFBSE (enacted and vicarious experiences in multiple role management), the relative strength of predictors, and a moderator (parent-child closeness) that facilitates vicarious learning. Dyadic survey data were collected in Singapore from 108 emerging adults ( Mage = 21.8, SDage = 1.51 years) and their same-gender parents. Results from hierarchical regression analyses suggest that emerging adults’ work-school conflict (enacted failure) and parental work-to-family conflict (observed failure) were negatively associated with WFBSE. Dominance analysis supported the hypothesis that mastery experience is a stronger predictor of WFBSE than vicarious experience is. As expected, perceived parental work-to-family conflict had a stronger negative relationship with WFBSE among emerging adults who reported higher parent–child closeness. Implications for future research on emerging adults’ WFBSE and career development practice are discussed.

“…Therefore, evidence informing development and implementation of interventions with potential to improve the healthy functioning of African American youth and families living in public housing is needed. Furthermore, research addressing parental profiles and various familial and social contextual factors in African American youth often utilized paternal data from a single city (Lombe et al, 2009; Nebbitt et al, 2014). We contribute to this body of knowledge by examining maternal behaviors across three cities.…”

ObjectiveAfrican American adolescents (N = 372), recruited from public housing in three large U.S. cities, participated in this study that explores individual, familial, and sociocontextual correlates of maternal caregiving profiles, based on supervision and encouragement.BackgroundMaternal caregivers play an important role in ensuring the safety and welfare of adolescents as they encounter multiple challenges in their social environment. Public housing magnifies the risk of experiencing such challenges for African American adolescents. Evidence on the experiences of African American adolescents living in public housing is scarce. Our study contributes to this body of knowledge by exploring profiles of maternal caregivers, based on supervision and encouragement, their association with demographics, and familial and sociocontextual challenges among adolescents in public housing.MethodUsing multinomial logistic regression, we explore the associations between profiles of maternal caregiving, based on supervision and encouragement and adolescent characteristics, adolescents' experiences, and assessment of their family (e.g., quality of parent–child relationship, family conflict) and sociocontextual (e.g., peer influence, victimization, witnessing of community violence).ResultsAdolescents living in households with high levels of maternal encouragement and supervision reported a high‐quality relationship with their caregivers and less witnessing of community violence. These adolescents were also less likely to report victimization.ConclusionsThe study identified parenting strategies that could potentially reduce risks of adverse exposures among urban African American youth in public housing. Practitioners and policymakers must consider programs to bolster these strategies and further serve urban African American adolescents in challenging environments.
