Descripción: In order to study Maccoby & Martin's (1983) dimensions of parental responsiveness and demandingness among different achievement groups, 237 students were divided into average and low achievers and those with learning disabilities. The students completed the Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (Schaefer, 1965) and their group scores on the three demandingness (Lax Discipline, Enforcement of Discipline, and Extreme Autonomy) and three responsiveness (Child-Centeredness, Rejection, and Acceptance of Individuation) subscales were compared. The MANOVA investigating responsiveness uncovered no differences among the three groups of achievers while only one subscale on the demandingness dimension significantly differentiated students with learning disabilities from the other groups. These findings are intriguing in that they do not support existing literature indicating that higher levels ofresponsiveness and demandingness relate to higher student achievement.
