The Influence of Family Socioeconomic Status on Junior High School Students'Academic Achievement:the Mediating Role of Parental Educational Expectations and Parent-Child Relationships
Using the data from the China education panel studies(CEPS)project,with junior high school students'academic performance as the dependent variable,a structural equation model was used to discuss the relationship between family socioeconomic status,parental educational expectations,parent-child relationships and students'academic performance.Furthermore,the different roles of these variables in rural and urban junior high school students were examined.The results indicate that for urban junior high school students,family socioeconomic status has a significant impact on their academic performance,and parental educational expectations and parent-child relationships play an important mediating role;for rural junior high school students,parental educational expectations and parent-child relationships have a direct impact.Therefore,it is suggested to increase macro control of policies,give full play to the subjectivity of rural education,and strengthen the construction of teaching staff;carry out guidance on family education,guide parents to express their educational expectations reasonably,and build a harmonious parent-child relationships;pay attention to the academic performance of disadvantaged student groups and implement educational assistance programmes.
