Parental Involvement and Children's Positive and Negative Emotion: The Mediating Role of Academic Stress

Abstract

In education, it is easy to ignore children's emotional needs, which affects physical and mental health. A quantitative study randomly distributed a questionnaire among selected primary school children who reported academic stress, emotional state, and parental involvement. The study's findings indicated a correlation between parental involvement, academic stress, and positive and negative emotions. Academic stress played a partial mediating role in the influence of parental involvement on emotion. Children's emotional state can be improved with parents’ involvement in their lives and studies; however, children should be given relief from academic stress to make them happy indirectly. The study aims to investigate parental involvement's influence on children's positive and negative emotions and whether academic stress plays a mediating role.
