This research examined American and Chinese children's sense of responsibility to their parents during early adolescence, with a focus on its implications for children's academic functioning. Four times over the seventh and eighth grades, 825 children (mean age = 12.73 years) in the United States and China reported on their sense of responsibility to their parents. Information on children's academic functioning was also collected from children as well as school records. Although children's sense of responsibility to their parents declined over the seventh and eighth grades in the United States, this was not the case in China. In both countries, children's sense of responsibility was predictive of enhanced academic functioning among children over time.
本研究考察了美国和中国儿童在青少年早期对父母的责任感，重点关注其对儿童学业表现的影响。在美国，825 名儿童（平均年龄=12.73 岁）在 7 年级和 8 年级期间，分四次报告了他们对父母的责任感。儿童的学业表现信息也由儿童和学校记录收集。尽管美国儿童对父母的责任感在 7 年级和 8 年级期间有所下降，但中国并非如此。在这两个国家，儿童的责任感随着时间的推移对儿童的学业表现具有预测作用。
