Abstract:

In the past decades, the relationship between parenting and children's academic achievement has been studied by a large number of researchers, the results of which showed that cognition, personality, motivation and self-concept played a significant mediating role in the relationship between parenting and academic achievement, indicating that parents influence their children's academic achievements through these psychological factors. Although a great deal of research has been carried out to understand the relationship, the literature on studies more comprehensively examining the relationship and studies of the relationship across different cultures is still lacking hence the need for current researchers to focus on these areas of study so as to increase our understanding of the relationship. Besides, researchers also need to carry out applied reseach studies to promote the application of the results.

Key words: parenting, psychological factors, academic achievement

摘要:

近十几年来,研究者们致力于探究父母教养与子女学业成就关系的内在机制。认知、大五人格、动机与自我概念作为学习者的心理特质,在父母教养与学业成就间起着重要的中介作用。父母教养能通过影响这些心理因素间接地影响子女的学业成就。尽管研究者们在该领域已经取得较为丰富的研究成果,仍需要在将来加强综合性研究、应用研究和跨文化比较研究,以深化和拓展对这一领域的探索,同时促进已有研究成果的应用。
