This article proposes a fully nonparametric model to investigate the dynamics of intergenerational income mobility for discrete outcomes. In our model, an individual's income class probabilities depend on parental income in a manner that accommodates nonlinearities and interactions among various individual and parental characteristics, including…

This study examines the effects of parental support on learning engagement and the mediating roles of self-regulated learning (SRL) in mathematics online learning environments. A sample of 112 undergraduate students from the mathematics departments of two public universities in Malaysia participated in the study. We analyzed the data using…

This study aimed to examine the association between parent-grandparent co-parenting and children's self-control as well as the potential moderated mediation mechanisms. Participants were 367 children aged from 3 to 6 years from two public kindergartens in Shanghai and Guangzhou, China. Their mothers were asked to complete multiple questionnaires…

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the lives of families and children, affecting children's adjustment. We examined the impact COVID-19 had on families and how child-rearing disagreements might be linked to child adjustment. Furthermore, given the role that children play in evoking parent responses within the family context,…

This study examined mothers' tendency to base their self-esteem on their children's accomplishments (i.e., child-based worth) and its potential implications for their parenting practices. Child-based worth was assessed in three domains of development: virtue, academic competence, and physical appearance. Participants were 302 mothers (age range:…

This study examined the longitudinal associations among maternal child-based worth, perceived maternal achievement-oriented psychological control, and children's academic contingent self-worth over a one-year period in 274 Chinese children. Results showed that, after the autoregressive effects were controlled, higher levels of maternal child-based…

This paper presents credible and comparable evidence on intergenerational educational mobility in 53 developing countries using sibling correlation as a measure, and data from 230 waves of Demographic and Health Surveys. It is the first paper to provide estimates of sibling correlation in schooling for a large number of developing countries using…

The authors develop a teacher-parent partnership-based learning system and apply it to investigate through experimentation. Samples were taken by multistage random sampling and placed in two groups. The experiment group involved 56 elementary schools (899 students and 899 parents), and the control group (without using the system) was fifty-two…

This study examines the relationship between eighth-grade students' science achievement scores and their home backgrounds (educational resources and parental level of education) in three participating African countries: Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa using the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data of 2019.…

Despite extensive exploration of parental autonomy support and psychological control, certain ambiguities exist regarding their relationships with children's intelligence mindsets and academic outcomes. Based on a sample of 484 Chinese elementary school students, we aimed to elucidate the distinct roles of parental autonomy support and…

Peers' parents with a certain educational status generate spillover effects on adolescents' education outcomes through several extrinsic channels. However, evidence on the intrinsic mechanisms driving these spillover effects remains limited. Exploiting the data from China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) and a quasi-random class assignment design, we…

Despite the critical importance of critical thinking in higher education, a gap remains regarding how environmental factors shape these dispositions. This study examined the influence of school climate, classroom management, and parenting styles on university students' critical thinking dispositions, with an inclusive classroom climate as a…

Background: An expansive literature on community violence exposure has almost exclusively focused on its effects on children, yet little is known about the effects of exposure to community violence on parents. Similarly, a wealth of research has investigated the impact of intimate partner violence, but not community violence, on mothers.…

The impact of digital technology on the younger generation is profound and far-reaching. In a digital home environment, parental mediation of children's access to the Internet, digital devices, and their device use will either directly or indirectly affect children's digital attitudes and behaviors. Based on the ecological techno-microsystem…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the behavior pattern, perceptions, and motivations of students towards academic misconduct in a Business School with a view to mitigating its occurrence. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted among a batch of undergraduate students who responded to various dimensions of plagiarism…
