Parental Involvement and Its Impact on Emotional Stability and Academic Success of Students: An Empirical Investigation

Abstract

Background: It is well known that parental involvement in a child's education has a significant impact on both academic performance and emotional growth. The precise mechanisms by which parental involvement influences emotional stability and academic success are still poorly understood, despite a wealth of research in this field.

Objective: The purpose of this research is to determine which important aspects of parental involvement have the biggest effects on student outcomes by analyzing the connection between parental involvement and students' academic achievement and emotional stability.

Methodology: 100 students, ages 16 to 18, from 10 schools in urban and suburban areas participated in a cross-sectional survey. The Parental Involvement Scale (PIS-CA), the Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS-ST), and academic performance indicators were among the validated tools used to gather data. Structural equation modelling, multiple regression, and correlation analysis were among the statistical analyses.

Findings: The results showed that parental involvement was significantly positively correlated with academic success (r = 0.72, p < 0.001) and emotional stability (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). While school-based involvement was most predictive of academic success (β = 0.52, p < 0.001), home-based involvement had the strongest predictive power for emotional stability (β = 0.45, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: In conclusion, parental participation greatly improves students' academic performance and emotional stability. According to the findings, in order to maximize student outcomes, comprehensive parental engagement strategies should include both home-based and school-based activities.
