摘要：This study examined the relationship among parenting behaviors,children's perfectionism and achievement motivation,using a sample of 338 fifth and sixth graders. The participants completed questionnaires on parenting behaviors and their perfectionism and achievement motivation. Data were analyzed by factor analyses and multiple regression analysis. Both boys and girls had higher achievement motivation when they perceived higher parental levels of acceptance,and girls showed higher achievement motivation when they perceived higher maternal control/over-expectation. Boys who exhibited self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism and girls who exhibited self-oriented perfectionism showed higher achievement motivation. Boys had higher self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism when perceiving higher parental acceptance and control/over-expectation. Girls showed higher self-oriented perfectionism when perceiving higher parental acceptance and control/over-expectation,and they showed higher socially prescribed perfectionism when perceiving higher paternal control/ovcr-cxpcctation and maternal acceptance and control/over-expectation. It was revealed that both boys’ and girls’ perfectionism tended to play mediating roles between parenting behaviors and achievement motivation.
