Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 39-5 (July 1998) . - p.721-730 Titre : Parental Care and Intrusiveness as Predictors of the Abilities-Achievement Gap in Adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ruth FELDMAN, Auteur ; Daniel GUTTFREUND, Auteur ; Hannoch YERUSHALMI, Auteur Année de publication : 1998 Article en page(s) : p.721-730 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescence  parent-child interaction  educational attainment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : 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.
