The study examined parental influence on the math self-concept of 165 high-achieving adolescent girls. The research assessed the impact of parent attitudes about their own math abilities, parent expectations for their daughters, and degree of parent-child identification on the girls' own math self-concepts. A series of path analyses revealed that parent expectations have a significant impact on adolescent girls' beliefs about their own mathematical ability, regardless of parent-child identification. Parent math self-concept has little direct effect on daughter math self-concept, although it has a modest effect on parent expectations for daughters. Includes 17 references. (Author/JDD)
