Parental academic involvement and academic engagement in adolescence: moderating effects of growth mindset across diverse educational contexts.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParental academic involvement is an important correlate of students’ academic engagement, yet evidence from diverse and non-traditional educational contexts remains limited. In particular, little is known about whether this association generalizes to secondary vocational students in ethnic minority regions or whether it is contingent on students’ motivational beliefs. The present study examined the association between parental academic involvement and academic engagement and tested growth mindset as a moderating factor, drawing on converging evidence from distinct educational settings.
methodsTwo complementary studies were conducted. Study 1 used a self-report survey design to assess parental academic involvement, growth mindset, and academic engagement among 1,000 secondary vocational students from ethnic minority regions in China. Study 2 analyzed data from 6,037 middle school students in Hong Kong using the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), incorporating parent-reported indicators to replicate and validate findings in a different educational and cultural context. Moderation analyses were conducted in both samples.
resultsAcross both studies, parental academic involvement was positively associated with students’ academic engagement. Growth mindset significantly moderated this association in both samples, but the conditional patterns differed across contexts: in Study 1, the association was stronger among students with lower growth mindset, whereas in Study 2, it was stronger among students with higher growth mindset.
conclusionUsing data from secondary vocational students in ethnic minority regions of China and middle school students in Hong Kong, this study provides converging evidence that the association between parental academic involvement and academic engagement is robust across diverse educational contexts and is conditional on students’ growth mindset. These findings highlight the context-sensitive nature of motivational processes in shaping how family involvement translates into academic engagement.
