Relations of authoritative parenting style to student outcomes: The mediating role of self-efficacy and task value

In: http://hdl.handle.net/10497/484

Abstract

This study examines whether the relation between authoritative parenting and student outcomes is mediated by students' self-efficacy and task value, using a structural equation model. Our study was based on adolescents' self-report data of 2090 Grade-9 students from 39 schools in Singapore. The results of the study confirm the mediating role of self-efficacy and task value in the relations between authoritative parenting and student outcomes. In addition, some direct associations were also found between authoritative parenting and student engagement and disengagement in the classroom. Students with warm, firm, and democratic parents tended to have better school performance and stronger engagement in school. ; http://www.crpp.nie.edu.sg/course/view.php?id=323 ; Core - Panel 2
