Abstract: Parent involvement in education is an important predictor of children's academic outcomes, but little is known about parent involvement in later-generation Latinx parents, a population that commonly experiences marginalization in the education system. The present study examined indicators of marginalization as correlates of parent involvement behaviors, mediated by parental views of the benefits of higher education, in a large sample of 2nd and 3rd+ generation Latinx parents of young children. Results showed high levels of parent involvement in most domains and positive views of higher education, suggesting that Latinx parents are invested in formal education across immigrant generations and despite facing social marginalization. Moreover, marginalizing experiences were associated with parent involvement behaviors, mediated by parental views, serving to both motivate and inhibit the ways in which parents support children's schooling.
