| Summary | There are positive outcomes for children whose parents are involved in school. Factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), child externalizing behaviors, parent perceptions on school engagement, and perceived barriers can influence parental involvement. The purpose of this study was to determine if the above-mentioned factors significantly influence parent involvement. Using multiple regression analyses with 3rd grade level data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, the results indicated that all of the factors together significantly contributed to parent involvement. At the individual level, all factors except child externalizing behavior significantly influenced parent involvement. Future researchers may wish to re-evaluate the relationship between child behavior and parent involvement in light of inconsistent findings across studies. |
