With a sample of 888 middle school students and their parents from two public middle schools in Chongqing, the current study examined the impact of different types of parent-child discrepancies in educational expectations on students’ academic achievement, as well as the mediating roles of parental involvement and academic self-concept. Results indicated that: 1) Achievement of adolescents was higher when their parents held higher expectations than adolescents held or when adolescents perceived that their parents’ expectations were lower than their own. 2) Parental involvement mediated the link between “actual parents’ educational expectations higher than self-educational expectations” and academic achievement. 3) Academic self-concept mediated the link between “perceived parents’ educational expectations higher than self-educational expectations” and academic achievement, as well as the link between “perceived parents’ educational expectations lower than self-educational expectations” and achievement.
