performed significantly better on the reading (F [1,<br />

Meta-analysis of<br />

25 studies<br />

representing over<br />

130,000 students<br />

Positive relationship between PI and academic<br />

achievement (r = +0.25). Lower relationships with<br />

math (r = 0.18) and reading (r = 0.18).<br />

Specific types of involvement had more significant<br />

relationships than others. For example:<br />

Aspirations for education, r = 0.39<br />

Communication, r = 0.19<br />

Supervision, r = 0.09<br />

Participation, r = 0.32<br />

Strongest effects resulted when GPA (or a global<br />

Specific types of family<br />

involvement)have<br />

different relationships to<br />

different outcomes. In<br />

this study, aspirations for<br />

education had the<br />

strongest relationship<br />

with achievement, while<br />

supervision (for<br />

example, rules about TV<br />

viewing) had the<br />

weakest relationship.<br />
