The Influence of Parenting Style on High School Students’ Learning Motivation

Abstract

The decline of senior high school students’ learning motivation and the lack of academic input have been widely discussed, but the reasons for this phenomenon are still unclear. As an important part of learning motivation, family factors have great research value. This paper aims to reveal how parenting styles affect students’ learning motivation. The importance of this research is that learning motivation not only determines students’ academic engagement but also has a profound impact on their longterm academic achievement and mental health. This paper concludes that while emotional warmth was a positive predictor and overprotection a negative predictor, the rejection dimension did not show a significant independent predictive effect in the regression models. Based on this, this paper draws some constructive conclusions. Parents should show more warmth and care, avoid excessive control, and protect high school students’ learning motivation to promote their academic development.
