This study aimed to examine the effects of parenting style on junior high school students’academic achievement and explored the mediat¬ing roles of self-esteem and perfectionism. Participants were 465 students from grades 7 to 9 in public junior high schools in Taoyuan, Taiwan, who were selected via purposive sampling. The study variables included perceived parenting style (parental expectation and parental criticism), self-esteem, perfectionism (high standards, order, and discrepancy), and academic performance. Results revealed that: (1) parenting style signifi¬cantly influenced students’academic achievement, self-esteem, and per¬fectionism; (2) self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between parenting style and academic performance; (3) perfectionism also served as a mediator, with the high standards dimension positively affecting academic performance, while the discrepancy dimension had a negative effect; (4) parental criticism exerted a stronger negative impact on aca¬demic achievement, whereas parental expectation positively promoted academic performance. These findings indicated that positive parenting, through enhancing adolescents’self-esteem and adaptive perfectionism, effectively supported academic success. The study offered practical im¬plications for family education, suggesting that parents adopt supportive and encouraging strategies while minimizing criticism to foster both psy¬chological well-being and academic achievement in adolescents. |
