Abstract
Our research evaluated parent education as a mediating variable and the potential effects on self-efficacy beliefs. Specifically, researchers collected responses from participants regarding their parent’s educational backgrounds and responses to items of self-efficacy. Results expected were parents with higher education levels will have offspring that report higher self-efficacy levels.
