Inhaltsangabe

This book examines parental educational anxiety in contemporary mainland China, offering a systematic analysis of its cultural roots, conceptual structure, formation mechanisms, and consequences.

Through vivid case studies, the authors delve into three key aspects of educational anxiety: concerns about academic performance, the competitive environment, and parenting self-efficacy. They present a dynamic framework that illustrates how family practices, school expectations, and social competition interact to generate and amplify anxiety. The book also investigates the wide-reaching effects of this phenomenon, demonstrating how it disrupts family relationships and undermines psychological well-being. To address these challenges, the authors propose practical, integrated strategies aimed at reducing parental educational anxiety, offering actionable solutions for families, schools, and policymakers.

Blending empirical evidence with an innovative analytical perspective, this volume is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in education, mental health, and family studies.
