Abstract

During a time of growing parental involvement in the lives of college-going students, this study examines how interactions with parents relate to students’ sense of emotional well-being and how this varies by gender. Using longitudinal data on first-year college students at one institution, the study reveals the importance of both quality and quantity of student-parent interactions, and describes how this varies by the gender of the student and the parent.
