This study aims to explore the relationship between parental academic involvement and academic engagement, focusing on the moderating role of growth mindset across different educational contexts.
Conducted two studies with self-report surveys and existing datasets.
Study 1 involved 1,000 secondary vocational students from ethnic minority regions in China.
Study 2 analyzed data from 6,037 middle school students in Hong Kong using PISA indicators.
Parental academic involvement correlates positively with academic engagement across both studies.
Growth mindset moderates this relationship differently across contexts: stronger for students with lower mindset in China and higher mindset in Hong Kong.
Findings indicate the association between parental involvement and academic engagement is robust but context-sensitive.
