Date of Defense 2009-03-17 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study investigated the relationship between initial levels and change in parent involvement and children’s learning-related social skills over time. Bioecological theory was the theoretical framework which guided the study using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Class of 1998-99. MPlus (Muthén & Muthén, 2004) was used to address missing data using Full Information Maximum Likelihood estimation and to complete latent growth curve analysis. Parent involvement at home (PI-H) in kindergarten was found to be significantly and positively related to interpersonal skills (IPS), but not work-related skills (WRS) in kindergarten. Parent involvement at school (PI-S) in kindergarten was found to be significantly and negatively related to both IPS and WRS in kindergarten. Increase in PI-H and PI-S overtime was found to be significantly related to decrease in IPS and WRS over time. There were not significant results found for the relationship between parent involvement in kindergarten and change in children’s learning-related social skills over time.Files
