Parenting Styles and Academic Achievement: A Cross-Cultural Study.
Leung, Kwok; Lau, Sing; Lam, Wai-Lim
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v44 n2 p157-72 Apr 1998
Investigated relationships between parenting style and adolescents' academic achievement in Hong Kong, United States, and Australia. Found cultural differences in general and academic authoritarianism and general authoritativeness. Academic achievement was negatively related to academic authoritarianism and was positively related to general authoritarianism in Hong Kong and among U.S. and Australian children whose parents lacked college education.
