Financial Strain, Parenting Behaviors, and Adolescents' Achievement: Testing Model Equivalence between African American and European American Single- and Two-Parent Families.
Gutman, Leslie Morrison; Eccles, Jacquelynne S.
Child Development, v70 n6 p1464-76 Nov-Dec 1999
Tested equivalence of theoretical model of parenting behaviors linking financial strain to adolescents' achievement for African American and European American families and single- and two-parent families. Found no significant differences in structural equation models between ethnic/racial groups or between family types. Negative parent-adolescent relationship and parental school involvement mediated the relation between financial strain and adolescents' academic achievement. (Author/KB)
