Abstract
- This study was designed to examine connections among father beliefs, perceptions, context, and involvement, and school-aged children's attachment and school outcomes in the U.S. and Taiwan (n = 274 father-child dyads). Fathers completed questionnaires regarding their family demographics, education-related beliefs, perceptions, and involvement, and children's school achievement. Children completed a pictorial measure of attachment and standardized socio-emotional assessments. Father involvement was related to father beliefs and perceptions and to children's attachment-related secure exploration. Children's positive and negative school outcomes were related to father beliefs, perceptions, involvement, and children's attachment. School outcomes were uniquely predicted from nationality, attachment, father-teacher relationship quality, and fathers' beliefs about teachers, motivation for involvement, perceptions of invitations for involvement, efficacy, and school-based involvement, as well as from family income and mother involvement. Results are discussed in the context of 'relationship-focused' education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
