- Abstract
Although previous studies have shown that students’ participation in shadow education leads to higher academic achievement, the effect of excessive tutoring on the mental health of students is unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the role parents play in students’ tutoring and negative emotion. Data from the 2015 China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) were used, and a total of 10750 8th grade students completed questionnaires. Results revealed that taking cram school courses was not significantly related to negative emotions. In addition, moderation analyses showed that the relation between taking cram school courses and negative emotions was moderated by the father-child relationship but not by the mother-child relationship. These findings rely on a large sample size at the national level, which was convinced about generalizability. The present study emphasizes the unique role of fathers in the relationship between their children’s education and mental health.
