The current study investigates the influence of parent-child relationship and parenting on adolescent academic efficacy and educational aspiration. To test the proposed hypotheses, researchers collect data from students in a remote junior high school in New Taipei city. Correlation and regression analyses shows: 1) Parental caring and expectation increases the educational aspiration of the students; 2) A clear and consistent non-harsh discipline from parents promotes the educational aspiration of the students. On the basis of the research results, parents should provide clear direction to students regarding their behavior to promote their academic efficacy and educational aspiration. In addition to teachers, the current study shows the importance of the educational expectation of parents.
