Abstract
This chapter assesses the effects of different forms of parental involvement and investment along with a set of individual and school factors on students’ self-concept and their academic achievement. We first present the general characteristics of student respondents and then examine profiles of parental involvement and investment found in the families of primary school students in Hong Kong. Then, eight HLM models are conducted to examine the effect of different types of parental involvement on eight aspects of students’ cognitive and affective learning outcomes.
