Perceived parents' support for learning and aspirations for Australian adolescents.
Relationships were examined between perceptions of parents' support for learning and measures of aspirations for Australian adolescents from different ethnic groups. The findings indicated that perceptions of parents' support combined to have significant associations with aspirations but there were ethnic-group differences in how adolescents' perceptions of fathers' and mothers' support were related to their aspirations.
