ABSTRACT
The study analyzes the longitudinal causal relationship among parental autonomy support, academic engagement, and academic achievement applying two-level growth curve modeling. The subjects of this study were 2,590 middle school students in the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. At the student level, the initial value and the rate of change of parental autonomy support affected the initial value and the rate of change in academic engagement and achievement. The initial value and the rate of change in academic engagement affected the initial value and the rate of change in academic achievement. At the school level, the initial value and the rate of change of parental autonomy support affected the initial value and the rate of change of autonomy support. The initial value and the rate of change affected the initial value and the rate of change in academic achievement. At the student and school level, the initial value of parental autonomy support affected academic achievement through the mediation of academic engagement. This study extends the longitudinal causal relationship among parental autonomy support, academic engagement, and academic achievement in middle school using two-level growth curve modeling.
