Lastly, we were able to investigate child effects on parent cognitions! For example, if their kid is doing better in math, parents tend to have higher perceptions of children’s competence (in other words, parents are attentive and attuned to how their children are doing in math). 7/8
Interestingly, if a kid is doing well in math or holds a growth mindset, these predict parents’ believing less over time that math failure is debilitating. That direction of effect is kind of novel! A sign we need more research on the bidirectional interplay between parents and kids in math. 8/8
