Abstract

Parents play a crucial role in children’s development, especially in the teenage stage. The present study examined the efficacy of parental involvement for different types of parents on teenagers (n=92). A survey is first conducted to collect patterns of daily parental interactions among high school students. After collecting a sample of descriptions about parent-children interactions, the study then analyzes similar patterns into categories and compares each category with students’ academic performance at school, thereby finding each style’s effectiveness. As a result, six divisions of parent-children interactions (academic support, material reward & punishment, emotional support, future-oriented admonition, valuing independence, and no encouragement) are demonstrated. Moreover, the result suggests that parents who emphasize the importance of learning and discuss the future with their children can positively affect their children’s math performance than other interaction methods.
