In this study we examined relations between adolescents' perception of parental care and intrusiveness and the abilities-achievement gap. Cognitive abilities and academic achievement were assessed for 200 Israeli 10th graders. Representations of maternal and paternal care and intrusiveness and externalizing and internalizing symptoms were self-reported. Gender differences were found for the abilities-achievement gap. Boys' achievement in mathematics and language was significantly lower than could be expected from abilities in these domains. Representations of maternal care predicted achievement while aptitude and socioemotional symptoms were controlled and moderated the relations of abilities and achievement. Paternal representations were unrelated to abilities or achievement. Among boys, maternal intrusiveness had a unique contribution to the prediction of achievement, above and beyond abilities, socioemotional symptoms, and maternal care. The relevance of the findings to cognitive and attachment perspectives on adolescent achievement is discussed.
在本研究中，我们考察了青少年对父母关爱与侵扰的认知与能力成就差距之间的关系。对200名以色列十年级学生的认知能力和学业成绩进行了评估。通过自我报告获取了对母亲和父亲的关爱、侵扰以及外化和内化症状的认知。在能力成就差距方面发现了性别差异。男孩在数学和语言方面的成绩显著低于根据这些领域能力所预期的水平。在控制了能力倾向和社会情绪症状并调节了能力与成就之间的关系后，对母亲关爱的认知预测了成就。对父亲的认知与能力或成就无关。在男孩中，母亲的侵扰对成就的预测具有独特贡献，超出了能力、社会情绪症状和母亲关爱。讨论了这些发现与青少年成就的认知和依恋观点的相关性。
