A Latent Growth Curve Analysis Examining Maternal Education and Parenting during Childhood as Predictors of Academic Achievement during the Transition to Adolescence Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology, Indiana University, August 2013 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Mothers, Education; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study focused on maternal education and two important dimensions of parenting, maternal emotional and cognitive support predicting achievement. Using latent growth curve modeling to analyze data (N = 6,166) from the Children of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth79, the study examined whether maternal education and cognitive and emotional support during early childhood--ages 6, 7, and 8--predicted math and reading achievement during the transition to early adolescence, ages 9 to 14. Maternal emotional support was hypothesized to moderate the relations between maternal cognitive support and the development of reading and math achievement. Education, cognitive and emotional support predicted reading achievement at age 9 and changes in reading achievement to age 14. Education, cognitive and emotional support predicted math achievement at age 9 and education and cognitive support predicted changes in math achievement. There were no interactions between emotional and cognitive support predicting achievement, however there was a non-significant trend such that if emotional support was low, then the relation between cognitive support and growth in math achievement was reduced. The study sample included European-Americans (50%), Latinos (21%), and African-Americans (29%). There were no significant interactions when the model was tested separately for each ethnic-racial group. |
