This study aims to understand how socioeconomic status and the family environment impact students' academic achievement through the mediation of parental involvement in rural China. To achieve this, a cross-sectional design was adopted, and a total of 525 parents of rural junior high school students from S province in southwest China were surveyed. The proposed conceptual framework was tested by structural equation modeling. The results claimed that both socioeconomic status and the family environment are important factors affecting the academic achievement of rural students, and the role of the family environment is more pronounced. Furthermore, parental involvement has a significant mediating effect between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, especially between the family environment and academic achievement. The findings highlighted the importance of the family environment and parental involvement to compensate for the negative impact of disadvantaged family socioeconomic status on academic achievement.
本研究旨在了解在中国农村地区，社会经济地位和家庭环境如何通过父母参与这一中介因素影响学生的学业成绩。为此，采用了横断面设计，对中国西南部S省的525名农村初中生家长进行了调查。通过结构方程模型对所提出的概念框架进行了检验。结果表明，社会经济地位和家庭环境都是影响农村学生学业成绩的重要因素，且家庭环境的作用更为显著。此外，父母参与在社会经济地位和学业成绩之间，尤其是在家庭环境和学业成绩之间具有显著的中介作用。研究结果凸显了家庭环境和父母参与对于弥补弱势家庭社会经济地位对学业成绩的负面影响的重要性。
