The What and How of Parents’ Socialization: Exploring the Bridging Role of Children’s Psychological Processes

Fri, April 25, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

To explain how academic adjustment is socialized via parental educational involvement, different theories have uniformly placed an emphasis on children’s psychological processes, including children’s interpretation of experiences, affective memory, and fulfillment of psychological needs (Eccles & Wigfield, 2020; Ryan et al., 2019). Children would also develop better academic skills when the inputs are domain-specific and cognitively appropriate (Daucourt et al., 2021). In accordance with these theoretical assertions, the proposed symposium offers a collection of studies that examine children’s psychological processes in response to parents’ input in math and science domains. The five papers included in the symposium each address a distinct pathway through which parents influence their children’s academic outcomes from preschool to college.
