本研究探讨了父母效能感对促进式父母教养策略、儿童自我效能感以及不良环境下儿童学业成功的影响。数据来自1991年对费城市中心376名白人和黑人母亲及其青少年的调查。分析表明，对父母效能的信念可以预测黑人母亲的舞会橄榄球策略，但不能预测白人母亲的策略，这一差异反映了黑人家庭的高风险环境。他们往往比白人家庭生活在更与世隔绝、更危险的社区。总体而言，在不利的家庭和环境背景下，母亲的父母效能感对儿童的自我效能感和学业成功的预测作用更强，例如黑人单亲家庭和婚姻脆弱的黑人家庭，而在婚姻牢固的白人家庭或黑人家庭中，母亲的父母效能感对儿童的自我效能和学业成功具有更强的预测作用。令人惊讶的是，母亲的效能信念而不是她们的促进策略与孩子的自我效能感和学业成功有关。
This study investigates the effects of parental efficacy on promotive parenting strategies, children's self-efficacy, and children's academic success in adverse environments. Data were obtained from a 1991 survey of 376 mothers, both White and Black, and their young adolescents in inner-city Philadelphia. Analyses show that beliefs in parental efficacy, predict the prom olive strategies of Black mothers but not those of White mothers, a difference that reflects the higher risk environments of Black families. They tend to live in more socially isolated and dangerous neighborhoods than White families. Overall, mothers' parental efficacy is a stronger predictor of children's self-efficacy and academic success in disadvantaged family and environmental contexts, such as Black single-parent households and Black families with a weak marriage, than in White families or Black families with a strong marriage. Surprisingly, mothers' efficacy beliefs but not their promotive strategies are associated with the self-efficacy and academic success of their children.
