ABSTRACT

Parental involvement in education is critical to academic achievement. Mainstream forms of parental involvement often dismiss Latinx parents’ subtle practices. We surveyed 252 Latinxs about their and their parents’ parental communication styles, parenting styles, school involvement, and academic expectations. Correlations were weak to strong. Respondents reported higher mean scores than their parents across all practices except psychological support and authoritarian parenting. Most parenting variables were significantly associated with participants’ academic outcomes. Acculturation moderated the relationship between respondents’ parents’ parental pressure and authoritarian parenting style and their own. Results suggest intergenerational transmission of parenting practices regardless of acculturation.

家长参与教育对学业成绩至关重要。父母参与的主流形式通常会忽视拉丁裔父母的微妙做法。我们调查了 252 名拉丁裔，了解他们和他们父母的父母沟通方式、教养方式、学校参与和学业期望。相关性从弱到强。除心理支持和独裁教养外，受访者在所有实践中的平均得分均高于其父母。大多数育儿变量与参与者的学业成绩显着相​​关。文化适应调节了受访者父母的父母压力和专制教养方式与他们自己之间的关系。结果表明，无论文化适应如何，育儿方式的代际传递。
