What is the difference between talking about homework and making it my responsibility?
This article examines how responsibility for homework fits into conversations with mothers and fathers. Taking part in one task and assuming responsibility for a whole routine are different milestones for families to discuss.
Who was studied?
Adolescents in two waves of the China Education Panel Survey.
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how responsibility for homework fits into conversations with mothers and fathers?
- Which measurements came first, and what changes between waves could also explain the pattern?
- How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is adolescents in two waves of the China Education Panel Survey.
Keep the limits in view
Following families over time helps establish the order of measurements. Other changing experiences could still account for the associations.
