Cultural Values, Parents’ Beliefs, and Children’s Achievement in the United States and China
Open accessAbstract
This paper describes traditional and modern Chinese cultural values regarding educational achievement and how they are reflected in the beliefs of parents and children. Chinese philosophy traditionally has emphasized human malleability and the value of self-improvement. Chinese parents set higher standards and work more often with their children on homework than their American counterparts, and Chinese cultural values help to ensure that children work diligently. These factors may help to explain the superior performance of Chinese children in cross-national comparisons of mathematics achievement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
