Patterns of Parental Reaction to Student Grades.

Pollio, Howard R.; And Others

Higher Education, v22 n1 p31-42 Jul 1991

Results suggest that parental reactions are not only attempts at changing student behavior but also may be viewed as emotional responses expressing personal needs and values. (Author/MSE)
