家长教育期望对学业倦怠的影响:家长投入的中介及家庭功能的调节

How Parental Educational Expectations Influence Student Academic Burnout: The Mediating Role of Educational Involvement and Moderating Role of Family Functioning

本研究以北京市2921名中小学生及其家长为调查对象,考察了家长教育期望对其子女学业倦怠的影响,以及家长投入的中介作用和家庭功能的调节作用。结果发现:(1)在控制年级、性别后,家长教育期望依然负向预测子女的学业倦怠;(2)家长投入在家长教育期望与学业倦怠之间起部分中介作用,即教育期望能够通过提升家长投入,进而降低子女的学业倦怠水平;(3)家庭功能在家长投入与学业倦怠的关系中起到调节作用,只有家庭功能良好时,家长投入才能显著降低子女的学业倦怠水平。这一结果对于家长如何科学有效地促进子女的学业发展具有启示意义。

The present study explored the association between parental educational expectations and student academic burnout,and the potential impacts of parental involvement and family functioning between parental expectations and academic burnout. 2921 students（ Mage= 12. 56,SD = 1. 53,1624 males and 1297 females） and their parents were recruited from 10 primary and middle schools in Beijing,China. Students completed paper questionnaires of student academic burnout,and parents completed measurements of parental educational expectations,parental involvement and family functioning. The results showed that parental educational expectations negatively predicted students＇ academic burnout. Furthermore, the relationship between parental educational expectations and students＇ academic burnout was mediated by parental involvement.

Those findings reveal the complex mechanism of parental expectations on children academic burnout,and highlight future intervention of reducing students＇ academic burnout may start from encouraging parents to be involved more in children＇s academic life,and enhancing family functioning.
