Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to examine whether how much a student studies at home is determined by one's family background, and what is the pathway that explains the relationship between family background and student’s study hours at home. My findings are as follows: (1)In urban Japan, family background has a strong effect on student's study hours at home, and this effect is large compared to urban Shanghai. In urban Hong Kong, family background has no association with student's study habit at home. (2) The effect of family background on student's study hours at home is largely mediated by student's participation in shadow education and this pathway is unique to urban Japan. (3) In urban Japan, the effect of shadow education participation on student's study hours at home is partly mediated by student's attitude toward studying. However, in urban Hong Kong and Shanghai, student's attitude toward studying has no association with family background or shadow education participation.
