Although myriad studies document the benefits of parental involvement in education on various indicators of children's academic performance, less research examines parental involvement among adolescents in low-income Latino families. Incorporating a multidimensional conceptualization of parental involvement, this study examined the relation between parental involvement and academic outcomes in a sample of 223 low-income, Latino adolescents. Results indicated that three types of parental involvement (gift/sacrifice, future discussions/academic socialization, and school involvement) had significant, positive associations with academic outcomes. Moreover, our results suggest that parents' stories about struggles with poverty and immigration are an important component of parental involvement, contributing to adolescents' desire to succeed academically and "give back" to parents. Additionally, our findings indicated that the positive relations between parental involvement and academic outcomes were stronger for immigrant youth and for those with higher endorsements of the Latino cultural value of respeto (respect).
尽管大量研究证明了家长参与教育对孩子学业成绩各项指标的益处，但较少有研究考察低收入拉丁裔家庭中青少年的家长参与情况。本研究采用家长参与的多维概念化方法，对223名低收入拉丁裔青少年样本中家长参与与学业成果之间的关系进行了考察。结果表明，三种家长参与类型（给予/牺牲、未来讨论/学业社会化以及学校参与）与学业成果存在显著的正相关。此外，我们的研究结果表明，父母讲述的与贫困和移民相关的奋斗故事是家长参与的一个重要组成部分，有助于青少年在学业上取得成功并“回报”父母。此外，我们的研究结果表明，对于移民青少年以及那些更认同拉丁裔尊重文化价值观（respeto）的青少年而言，家长参与与学业成果之间的正向关系更强。
