Gender Differences in Parental Involvement and Adolescents' Mathematics Achievement
Abstract
How does parents' involvement in school differ for sons and daughters, and what difference does it make in the gender gap in mathematics achievement ? This article reports on a longitudinal study of the impact of parental involvement on adolescents' mathematics achievement from Grade 8 to 12. The study found that gender differences in scores on mathematics achievement tests were small but consistent among high school seniors. Gender differences in Grade 8 test scores and gains from Grade 8 to 10 were found only when parental involvement was controlled. The relationship between parental involvement and achievement is similar for girls and boys and diminishes over the course of high school to the point that parental involvement has essentially no relationship to the gains in achievement made by seniors.

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.
