CARMONA, Carlos Alonso. Class differences in parental involvement: interactions and processes. Sociologia [online]. 2025, vol.52, pp.143-162.  Epub 30-Nov-2025. ISSN 2182-9691.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soc52a5.

Research on school involvement has focused on the effects of parental support practices on children's academic performance. These studies often operationalize family behaviors as independent variables, seeking their statistical correlation with children's academic success, considered a dependent variable. We argue that this approach overlooks crucial dynamics of interdependence and process. The behaviors of parents and children mutually shape each other in a relationship mediated by past interactions, which, in turn, influence future ones. Based on our own research, we offer alternative explanations for several well-established findings in the literature on this topic, particularly regarding social class differences in parental involvement.
