The Influence of Parenting Styles on the Motivation of Private College Students

Parenting styles are formed and developed in the course of parent-child interactions. The results of this interaction are reflected not only in the physical parenting process of the child but also in the transmission of parental behavioural norms to the child. Behaviours such as students' willingness to learn, attitudes, emotions, attention and thinking are the direct drivers of motivation. Parenting styles, as an important part of the home environment, support the development of students' motivation to learn. Taking private colleges and universities as an example, this paper explores the characteristics of learning motivation of college students in private colleges and universities, the characteristics of parenting styles, and the influence of parenting styles on students' learning motivation. The study found that good parenting style has a significant positive impact on the learning motivation of students in private colleges and universities.
