Additionally, the nature of parent-adolescent interactions more generally may be an important predictor of adolescents' school engagement. Glasgow et al. (1997) found that adolescents whose descriptions of their parents suggested that the parents used a neglectful, indulgent or authoritarian (providing supervision and discipline without acceptance of the adolescent and involvement in the adolescent's life) parenting style had lower levels of school engagement and did less homework than adolescents who described their parents' behavior in ways that indicated that they used an authoritative (providing supervision and discipline while also being accepting and involved) parenting style. These results occurred despite controls for parental education, adolescents' race, gender, and age, and adolescents' prior levels of homework completion and school engagement.
