TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Family Structure and Parental Involvement in the Intergenerational Parallelism of School Adversity JO - Journal of educational research A1 - Kaplan, Diane S. A1 - Liu, Xiaoru A1 - Kaplan, Howard B. SP - 235 EP - 244 VL - 93 IS - 4 N2 - A theoretically informed model in which the effects of negative junior high school experiences of mothers on the junior high school experiences of their children were examined. The model was estimated with the LISREL VIII program using panel data from 1,144 mother—adolescent child pairs. Mothers were first tested in 1971 when they were 7th graders, and both mothers and their children were subsequently interviewed in the 1990s. Results reveal the existence of a significant relationship between mothers' negative junior high school experiences and those of their children, which is partially mediated by family structure, mothers' educational attainment, and level of mothers' involvement in their children's school activities and interest in their progress at school.
