Abstract(s)
School is a privileged context to prevent specific behavior problems. Parental
involvement in school activities is crucial to promote social functioning.
This study aimed to access the Portuguese school personnel perception of
parental involvement and students’ behavior problems. A study with 333
school personnel, aged between 29 and 66 (M = 50.84, SD = 7.54), was
developed. School personnel’s participants rated parental involvement as
low and nearly one in five professionals rated student’s general behavior
as bad. A significant association between parental involvement and the
perception of students’ general behavior was found. 80% of the professionals
rating student’s general behavior as bad also rating parental involvement
as poor. Additional research into implications of parental involvement in
school activities and school students’ behavior problems is necessary aiming
assessment, prevention, and intervention strategies in this area.
