Main Results:

  • White students benefit from authoritative parenting and peer achievement support.
  • Hispanic students face challenges from authoritarian parenting and low peer support.
  • Asian-American students' peer support offsets authoritarian parenting.
  • African-American students' lack of peer support negates authoritative parenting benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Academic performance is influenced by a complex interaction between parenting and peer dynamics.
  • Targeted interventions addressing both parenting and peer support are crucial for educational equity.
  • Racial and ethnic disparities in academic achievement are not solely explained by individual or familial factors.
