Mothers' Behavior and Sons' Performance: An Initial Test of an Academic Achievement Path Model.

Seginer, Rachel

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v32 n2 p153-66 Apr 1986

Path analysis of data collected on fifth grade boys indicated that mothers' educational expectations were strongly related to sons' academic performance. Results were related to a model which conceptualized two classes of parental behaviors as determining children's academic achievement: instigating behaviors and responsive behaviors. (Author/DST)
