Razones Para Hacer los Deberes Escolares: Identificación de Perfiles y su Asociación con el Esfuerzo Dedicado, los Deberes Completados y el Rendimiento
Background:The main objective of the research was (1) to identify different profiles of students based on three purposes they had for homework (academic, self-regulatory and approval-seeking) and (2) to analyze their relationship with the homework effort, completion, and math achievement. Method:The study involved 3,018 eighth-grade students from various areas in China. Data were analyzed with Mplususing Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). Results:As hypothesized, four different profiles were identified: High Profile(high in all purposes; 13.39%), Moderate Profile(moderate in all purposes; 56.63%), Low Profile(low in all purposes; 26.04%), and Very Low Profile(very low in all purposes; 3.94%). Belonging to a certain profile was related to the homework effort, completion, and math achievement: the higher the purposes, the greater the homework effort, completion, and higher math performance. Conclusions:The results of our study suggest certain similarities and consistency between individual groups (similar profiles) at different ages (i.e., eighth and eleventh graders). Belonging to one or the other profile may have different consequences or implications both for the student’s behavior (for example, in terms of their involvement in homework and academic achievement) and for the educational practice of teachers and families.

A latent profile analysis of homework time, frequency, quality, interest, and favorability: implications for homework effort, completion, and math achievement
The major objectives of our study were (a) to identify student profiles according to five homework characteristics (homework time, frequency, quality, interest, and favorability) and (b) to examine their relationship with three critical variables in the homework process—homework effort, completion, and math achievement. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to examine a data set with 3018 8th graders in China. Based on these characteristics, five distinct profiles were identified: Profile 1 (
Low
), Profile 2 (
Moderate Time/High With Others
), Profile 3 (
Low Frequency/Moderate With Others
), Profile 4 (
Moderate Time/High Frequency/Low With Others
), and Profile 5 (
High Time and Frequency/Moderate With Others
)
.
Parent education was positively associated with the two healthiest profiles (Profile 2 and Profile 5). Finally, profile membership was a significant predictor of homework effort, completion, and math achievement. Specifically, our study suggests that students can work about 30 min on math homework and achieve the same results, if they work often, with high quality, fueled by interest and favorability (compared with students who spend about 110 min on math homework). Taken together, our study provided novel insights into the combination of homework characteristics that could have significant implications for homework practice and research.

How Parental Homework Stress Affects the Effectiveness of Parental Homework Involvement in China: A Family Stress Approach
Assisting children with homework can be a major stressor in Chinese parents’ lives. Drawing upon the Family Stress Model (FSM), our study examines the indirect effects of parental homework stress on children’s academic functioning, as well as the moderating effect of family socioeconomic status (SES). A pilot study is first conducted to develop and test a parental homework involvement style scale to capture the characteristics of supportive and controlling parental homework involvement in Chinese culture. In the main study, a total of 291 parent-child dyads participated in our survey. The results showed that parental homework stress is linked to negative aspects of children’s academic functioning through the chain mediation of lower levels of coparental support and supportive homework involvement. Multiple group path analysis revealed that, however, in low-income families, parental homework stress undermines children’s academic functioning through both reduced supportive involvement and increased controlling involvement, whereas in high-income families, this impact is channeled solely by the chain mediation of decreased coparental support and supportive involvement. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the parental homework stress process by applying the FSM to the homework context for the first time. It also adds to the homework involvement literature in exploring the potential antecedents of homework involvement styles.
Highlights
Parental homework stress is linked to negative aspects of children’s academic functioning through the chain mediation of decreased coparental support and supportive homework involvement.
Parental homework stress undermines children’s academic functioning through both reduced supportive involvement and increased controlling involvement in low-income families.
Parental homework undermines children’s academic functioning solely through the chain mediation of decreased coparental support and supportive involvement in high-income families.

Empirically derived profiles of homework purposes in eleventh grade students: a latent profile analysis
Informed by expectation-value theory and related literature, the goal of the current investigation was to identify profiles of students drawn from three purposes of homework (academic, self-regulatory, and approval-seeking). Participants were 750 eleventh-grade students in China. Results from latent profile analysis (LPA) revealed identified four different profiles of students:
Very Low Profile
(very low in all purposes; 5.73%),
Low Profile
(low in all purposes; 30.40%),
Moderate Profile
(moderate in all purposes; 54.40%), and
High Profile
(high in all purposes; 9.47%). Results further revealed that student gender was associated with profile membership. Finally, profile membership was significantly related to homework effort and completion (with a medium effect size) in that, in general, the higher the homework purposes, the higher the homework effort and homework completion.

The Role of Homework Engagement, Homework-Related Therapist Behaviors, and Their Association with Depressive Symptoms in Telephone-Based CBT for Depression
BackgroundTelephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (tel-CBT) ascribes importance to between-session learning with the support of the therapist. The study describes patient homework engagement (HE) and homework-related therapist behaviors (TBH) over the course of treatment and explores their relation to depressive symptoms during tel-CBT for patients with depression.MethodsAudiotaped sessions (N = 197) from complete therapies of 22 patients (77% female, age: M = 54.1, SD = 18.8) were rated by five trained raters using two self-constructed rating scales measuring the extent of HE and TBH (scored: 0–4).ResultsAverage scores across sessions were moderate to high in both HE (M = 2.71, SD = 0.74) and TBH (M = 2.1, SD = 0.73). Multilevel mixed models showed a slight decrease in HE and no significant decrease in TBH over the course of treatment. Higher TBH was related to higher HE and higher HE was related to lower symptom severity.ConclusionsResults suggest that HE is a relevant therapeutic process element related to reduced depressive symptoms in tel-CBT and that TBH is positively associated with HE. Future research is needed to determine the causal direction of the association between HE and depressive symptoms and to investigate whether TBH moderates the relationship between HE and depressive symptoms.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02667366.
