This study examined parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment in relation to ethnicity (African American,
Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic), parental education, children’s academic performance, and parental perceptions of the quality
and climate of their children’s school with a sample of 13,577 middle and high school parents. All parents had relatively
high educational aspirations for their children, and within each ethnic subgroup, parental education and children’s academic
performance were significantly and positively related to parental aspirations. However, moderating effects were found such
that Caucasian parents with lower levels of education had significantly lower educational aspirations for their children than
did parents of other ethnicities with similar low levels of education. Although the strength of the relationship between parental
perceptions of school-related factors and parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment was not strong,
it was most predictive of non-Caucasian parental aspirations for their children.

The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of the effects of perceived parental engagement on adolescents’
academic achievement in immigrant families. Self-report data were collected from 1,245 adolescents in immigrant families from
four high schools in Los Angeles County. The sample characteristics follow: 13–16 years old (M = 14.5); 58.9% female, 41.1% male; 57.5% Latino; 40.6% 1st generation youth (i.e., foreign born), 59.4% 2nd generation youth.
After controlling for parental educational attainment, parental engagement variables were indirectly related to grades through
youths’ academic engagement. Multigroup SEM indicated some differences between genders, generational statuses, and ethnicities
(Latinos versus others). Adolescents’ perceptions of monitoring by mothers and fathers were indirectly related to grades through
academic engagement. Perceived educational advice by mothers was indirectly related to grades through academic engagement
for non-Latinos, boys, and 2nd generation youth. Perceived mothers’ schoolwork help was positively related to adolescents’
academic engagement in all the models (except 2nd generation youth), yet fathers’ schoolwork help was significant only for
girls and 2nd generation youth.

The neighborhood context can interfere with parents’ abilities to effectively monitor their children, but may be related to
specific monitoring strategies in different ways. The present study examines the importance of mothers’ perceptions of neighborhood
disorganization for the specific monitoring strategies they use and how each of these strategies are related to youths’ alcohol
use and delinquency. The sample consists of 415 mother–child dyads recruited from urban and suburban communities in Western
New York state. Youths were between 10 and 16 years of age (56% female), and were mostly Non-Hispanic White and African American
(45.3 and 36.5%, respectively). Structural equation modeling shows that mothers who perceive greater neighborhood problems
use more rule-setting strategies, but report lower levels of knowledge of their children’s whereabouts. Knowledge of whereabouts
is related to less youth alcohol use and delinquency through its association with lowered peer substance use, whereas rule-setting
is unrelated to these outcomes. Thus, mothers who perceive greater problems in their neighborhoods use less effective monitoring
strategies. Prevention programs could address parental monitoring needs based upon neighborhood differences, tailoring programs
for different neighborhoods. Further, parents could be apprised of the limitations of rule-setting, particularly in the absence
of monitoring their child’s whereabouts. 相似文献

There is a dearth of literature that examines rural youths’ school transition and adaptation over the middle and high school
years. Given rural education challenges, this study examines rural youths’ developmental trajectories of self-reported grades
and affective and behavioral educational outcomes (i.e., school belonging, value of education, school misbehavior, and extracurricular
activity participation). The cohort-sequential study consisted of 3,312 African American and White youth (50% female) who
were surveyed over three and a half years, including the transition to high school. The results reveal significant changes
in the outcomes from sixth to twelfth grade. For example, on average, school misbehavior increased over time while perceived
school belonging decreased over time. Gender and race differences emerged; African American youth reported placing higher
importance on education and less participation in school activities than White youth. The discussion focuses on the importance
of examining rural adolescents’ educational pathways during the high school transition. 相似文献

Understanding psychosocial factors that affect the academic achievement of Hispanic adolescents remains a nationwide priority in the United States. Extending previous studies of the stressful effects of perceived discrimination, this year-long longitudinal study examined the correlates of perceived ethnic in-group rejection, coping strategies and fatalistic beliefs, on depressive symptoms, grades, and college aspirations of 2,214 Hispanic adolescents (54 % female) in Southern California. Based on the transactional model of stress and coping and on self-perception theory, structural equation models revealed that high perceived intragroup rejection (10th grade) and low levels of active coping (11th grade) were associated with depressive symptoms in 11th grade. Also, depressive symptoms partially mediated the link between intragroup rejection and both academic outcomes. Avoidant coping strategies (e.g., watching TV) also predicted depressive symptoms and were positively related to fatalism. In addition, fatalism was negatively related to grades and aspiration to attend college. The findings suggest the need to help adolescents find adequate outlets for communication and to create awareness about the potential effects of intragroup rejection. 相似文献

Sexual agency (i.e., the ability to make decisions and assertions related to one’s own sexuality) is associated with sexual health enhancing outcomes. Given that young women are expected to act passively, rather than with agency when it comes to sexual encounters, the present study aimed to explore whether parental support, knowledge, and communication about sexuality during late adolescence contribute to an enhancement of sexual agency in a sample of young women in the long-term. Using a longitudinal design (panel study), 320 female participants who participated in three data collection waves (T1, T2, and T5) were included in the analyses (Mage?=?16.2 years, SD?=?0.50 at baseline). Mediated by the frequency of parents’ communication about sexuality with their daughters, both dimensions of parental support (emotional engagement and support of autonomy) positively predicted adolescent women’s sexual agency two years later. In contrast, parental knowledge of their children’s whereabouts was unrelated to communication and female sexual agency. Specific dimensions of parenting seem to play a crucial role in empowering adolescent girls to act agentic through communicating, emotional support, and encouraging autonomy, which in turn may contribute to healthy sexual behavior in young adulthood. 相似文献

Parental knowledge is a key protective factor for youths’ risky behavior. Little is known about how longitudinal combinations of knowledge-related behaviors are associated with youths’ substance use. This longitudinal study uses Latent Transition Analysis to identify latent patterns of parental knowledge-related behaviors occurring in mother-youth dyads during middle school and to investigate how changes in knowledge-related patterns are associated with youths’ substance use in Grade 6 and the initiation of substance use from Grade 6 to 8. Using a sample of 536 rural dyads (53 % female, 84 % White), we assessed mother and youths’ reports of parental knowledge, active parental monitoring efforts, youth disclosure, and parent-youth communication to identify six latent patterns of knowledge-related behaviors: High Monitors, Low Monitors, Communication-Focused, Supervision-Focused, Maternal Over-Estimators, and Youth Over-Estimators. Fifty percent or more of dyads in the High Monitors, Communication-Focused and Youth Over-Estimators were in the same status in both 6th and 8th grade: 98 % of Low Monitors in Grade 6 were also in this status in Grade 8. The initiation of alcohol, smoking, and marijuana was associated significantly with transitions between patterns of knowledge-related behaviors. The initiation of alcohol and smoking were associated with increased odds of transitions into the Low Monitors from the Communication-Focused, Supervision-Focused, and Maternal Over-Estimators. However, the initiation of substance use was associated with decreased odds of transitions from the High Monitors to the Low Monitors and with increased odds of transitions from High Monitors to Supervision-Focused. The discussion focuses on the value of using a person-oriented dyadic approach with multiple reporters to study changes in knowledge-related behaviors over the middle school period. 相似文献

Media-related cognitions are a unique influence on adolescents’ substance use outcomes even after accounting for the powerful influence of parent and peers. This cross-sectional study expands upon prior research by investigating the impact of media-related cognitions on children’s alcohol and tobacco outcomes in the context of parental and peer substance use. Six hundred forty-nine elementary school children (M = 9.4 years of age, SD = 1.1 years; 51 % female) completed self-report questionnaires. After accounting for peer and parental substance use, children’s media-related cognitions were independently associated with three outcomes: preferences for alcohol-branded merchandise, moral beliefs about underage alcohol and tobacco use, and intentions to use alcohol and tobacco. Children’s perceptions of the desirability and realism of alcohol and tobacco ads—and their similarity to and identification with these ads—predicted greater intentions to use. Desirability and identification with alcohol and tobacco ads were associated with stronger preferences for alcohol-branded merchandise, and understanding advertising’s persuasive intent predicted weaker preferences. Media deconstruction skills predicted stronger beliefs that underage alcohol and tobacco use is wrong. Peer and parental substance use were associated with stronger substance-use intentions among children and weaker feelings that substance use is wrong. The findings highlight the role of media influence in contributing to youth substance use and the potential role of media literacy education in the early prevention of substance use. 相似文献

Research suggests that high parental support and control improves children’s well-being. However, a large part of these studies have focused on the parenting of married parents. Research on parenting after a divorce, mainly has focused on parenting of divorced mothers, with few exceptions concentrating primarily on non-residential fathers. Therefore, we compared both parenting dimensions support and control of fathers in different family structures (non-residential fathers, fathers in joint custody and married fathers). We also investigated the association between fathers’ parenting dimensions and children’s self-esteem, controlled for the parenting dimensions of the mother. Data from 587 children (50?% girls) between 10 and 18?years old and their parents were examined. Results revealed that non-residential fathers (n?=?225) were less supportive and controlling than fathers in joint custody (n?=?138) and married fathers (n?=?224). Nevertheless, having a supportive father was beneficial to children’s self-esteem in each family structure. We conclude that, even after a divorce, fathers have the capacity to enhance children’s self-esteem and we suggest that future research should investigate this capacity. 相似文献

This study examined the links between parental divorce, quality of maternal parenting, spousal relationships and middle adolescent
romantic competence in 80 mother-adolescent daughter pairs (40 divorced). Mothers were asked to describe their attitudes and
behaviors with regard to their daughters’ romantic behavior. In addition, mothers were interviewed about their own romantic
experiences when they were at the age of their daughters. Adolescent girls (mean age = 16.98 years; range 16–18) were administered
a comprehensive interview about romantic competence. Findings indicated that adolescent girls from divorced families showed
lower levels of romantic competence, which were expressed in their behavior, attitudes toward relationships and skill in handling
those relationships. Divorce was found to have had an adverse effect on girls’ romantic competence, whereas continued adaptive
parenting and spousal relationships alleviated the effect of divorce. Mothers’ coherent representation of their own adolescent
romantic experiences also alleviated the effect of divorce on daughters’ romantic behavior. Results show the important role
of family relationships in fostering romantic competence among adolescent girls. 相似文献

Two cross-sectional studies investigated media influences on adolescents’ substance use and intentions to use substances in
the context of exposure to parental and peer risk and protective factors. A total of 729 middle school students (n = 351, 59% female in Study 1; n = 378, 43% female in Study 2) completed self-report questionnaires. The sample in Study 1 was primarily African-American
(52%) and the sample in Study 2 was primarily Caucasian (63%). Across the two studies, blocks of media-related cognitions
made unique contributions to the prediction of adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future above and beyond self-reported peer and parental influences. Specifically, identification with and perceived similarity
to media messages were positively associated with adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future, and critical thinking about media messages and media message deconstruction skills were negatively associated with
adolescents’ intention to use substances in the future. Further, peer influence variables (e.g., peer pressure, social norms,
peer substance use) acted as risk factors, and for the most part, parental influence variables (e.g., parental pressure to
not use, perceived parental reaction) acted as protective factors. These findings highlight the importance of developing an
increased understanding of the role of media messages and media literacy education in the prevention of substance use behaviors
in adolescence. 相似文献

Recent research suggests that youths interpret parental control and that this may have implications for how control affects
youths’ adjustment. In this study, we propose that youths’ feelings about being over-controlled by parents and feeling connected
to parents are intermediary processes linking parental control and youths’ adjustment. We used three years of longitudinal
data sampled from 1,022 Swedish youths in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade (47.3% girls; 12–17 years old, M age = 14.28 years, SD = .98) who were mainly Swedish in ethnic origin. We tested models linking parental control (i.e., rules,
restriction of freedom, and coldness-rejection) to adjustment (i.e., norm-breaking, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem)
through youths feeling over-controlled by and connected to parents. The overall model incorporating youths’ feelings showed
that restrictions and coldness-rejection were both indirectly linked to increases in norm-breaking and depressive symptoms
through increases in youths feeling over-controlled. Parental rules still independently predicted decreases in norm-breaking
and in self-esteem, and coldness-rejection predicted increases in norm-breaking. In addition, some paths (e.g., feeling over-controlled
to self-esteem) depended on the youths’ age, whereas others depended on their gender. These results suggest that when youths’
feelings are taken into account, all behavioral control is not the same, and the line between behavioral control and psychological
control is blurred. We conclude that it is important to consider youths’ feelings of being controlled and suggest that future
research focus more on exploring this idea. 相似文献

Cognitive appraisals and family dynamics have been identified as mediators of the relationship between marital conflict and children's adjustment. Surprisingly little research has investigated both meditational processes in the same study. Guided by the cognitive-contextual framework and the spillover hypothesis, the present study integrated factors from both theories early adolescents' appraisals of threat and self-blame, as well as perceived parenting quality as mediators of the link between early adolescents' perception of marital conflict and their self-evaluations (self-esteem and scholastic competence). Analyses were based on the first two waves of an ongoing longitudinal study. Participants were 176 two-parent families, and their early adolescents (50.5% girls) whose mean age was 10.61 years at Time 1 (SD =0.40) and 11.63 years at Time 2 (SD=0.39). Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that parenting quality and early adolescents' perceived threat provided indirect pathways between marital conflict and early adolescents' self-esteem 1 year later when controlling for their initial level of self-esteem. With respect to scholastic competence, only fathers' parenting was an indirect link. Self-blame did not play a role. Implications for understanding the mechanisms by which exposure to marital conflict predicts early adolescents' maladjustment are discussed. 相似文献
