COMPARISON OF FAMILY INVOLVEMENT COMPONENT RELATIONSHIPS FOR MULTIPLE ETHNIC GROUPS
Moderate effect sizes (ES) are defined as at least .5 and weak effect sizes as at least .2 (see Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996). Strong correlations (r) and beta coefficients (β or b) are defined as at least .40, moderate as at least .30, and weak as at least .20. All reported relationships are significant at the .05 level or better. Gray indicates a negative or undesirable outcome. n/a = not applicable because the study did not analyze Caucasians as a group for that variable
a Hong & Ho, 2005 b Halle et al., 1997; Reynolds & Gill, 1994 c Mau, 1997; includes one group of Asian Immigrants and one of Asian Americans d Keith et al., 1998 e Jeynes, 2003 f Steinberg et al., 1992 g Listed by Jeynes (2003) as being from a single study, not meta-analysis

INVOLVEMENT AT HOME
• Greater impact on students
• More universal as several aspects impact students from 3-4 ethnic groups
• No aspect of school-based involvement was significant at the .2 level or better for more than two of the four ethnic groups.

DATA LIMITATIONS
• Small sample sizes for some variables
• Lack of replication within ethnic groups and across ethnic groups
• No research on some involvement reported as important to parents
