Perceived support in school adjustment.
This study examined the relationship between support by parents and teachers and school attachment and involvement in the first year of middle school for 157 sixth graders in a predominantly African-American urban middle school. Results suggested the importance of parental support in school attachment and involvement during early adolescence. Teachers' support was a significant predictor of overall school attachment (R2= .03) beyond the variance explained by parental support (R2= .11).
