Abstract

In this study, the longitudinal relationships among language proficiency, parental self-efficacy, and parental school involvement for immigrant mothers in South Korea were examined. A data set comprised of a three-wave longitudinal sample from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Data was analyzed; it consisted of 1,344 immigrant mothers (2011 to 2013). Language proficiency, parental self-efficacy, and parental school involvement were assessed by the self-reports of immigrant mothers. An autoregressive, cross-lagged model was used and the results pointed to longitudinal associations between language proficiency and parental school involvement as well as between parental self-efficacy and parental school involvement. Language proficiency had a longitudinal effect on parental self-efficacy, while parental self-efficacy had no longitudinal effect on language proficiency. Parental self-efficacy was a longitudinal mediator between language proficiency and parental school involvement. Results from this study support the idea that enhancing parental self-efficacy may reduce the negative effect of a language barrier and it may lead to promoting immigrant mothers’ parental school involvement.
