Abstract

This paper shares the results of a meta-analysis on the parental-relational component of parental-involvement and its association with the academic and behavioral outcomes of urban students. This meta-analysis includes 80 quantitative studies. The results indicated that statistically significant effects emerged across students of differences backgrounds, including difference by age groups, race, gender, and nationality. The results were also substantial in the highest quality studies. The significance of these results is discussed.
