Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between parental structure, parental chaos, and homework anxiety among elementary school students, as well as the mediating roles of autonomous and controlled motivation in relation to homework. A total of 1,118 elementary school students from grades 4 to 6 completed the Parents as Social Context Questionnaire, Homework Anxiety Scale, and Homework Motivation Scale. Results indicated that parental structure was negatively associated with homework anxiety in elementary school students, while parental chaos exhibited a positive correlation with such anxiety; furthermore, both homework autonomous and controlled motivation mediated the relationship between parental structure and chaos with homework anxiety. Specifically, a structured parenting environment could mitigate homework anxiety by enhancing students' autonomous motivation; conversely, chaotic parenting environments were associated with increased homework anxiety through heightened controlled motivation while simultaneously diminishing autonomous motivation. These findings offer novel insights into alleviating homework-related anxiety among elementary school students and provide empirical support for developing educational interventions focused on parenting practices.

父母的结构和混乱对小学生作业焦虑的影响：作业动机的中介作用。

本研究旨在探讨父母结构、父母混乱与小学生家庭作业焦虑之间的关系，以及自主动机和控制动机在家庭作业中的中介作用。共有 1,118 名四至六年级的小学生填写了 "父母作为社会背景问卷"、"家庭作业焦虑量表 "和 "家庭作业动机量表"。结果表明，父母的结构与小学生的家庭作业焦虑呈负相关，而父母的混乱与这种焦虑呈正相关；此外，家庭作业自主性和受控动机在父母的结构和混乱与家庭作业焦虑之间的关系中起中介作用。具体来说，结构化的教养环境可以通过提高学生的自主动机来减轻作业焦虑；相反，混乱的教养环境则会通过提高控制动机来增加作业焦虑，同时降低自主动机。这些发现为减轻小学生与家庭作业相关的焦虑提供了新的见解，并为制定以养育实践为重点的教育干预措施提供了经验支持。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
