	abstract = {Recent research suggests that children with immigrant parents tend to outperform their counterparts with native-born parents. This article examines whether the relative advantage of children of immigrants can be traced to differences in the character of parent-child relationships. Using the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS), I examine whether parent-child interaction varies among racial \& generational groups. Descriptive tabulations suggest that immigrant parents are less likely to share decision-making power \& to talk about school in general than are native-born parents. However, immigrant parents are more likely to talk about college, \& their children report that they are closer to their parents than youth of native-born parents. While differences in parent-child interaction account for some of the differences in educational achievement between racial \& generational groups, significant variation by race \& generational status remains. Finally, I found significant variation between parenting behavior \& its impact on GPA by race \& ethnicity. 5 Tables, 1 Figure, 31 References. Adapted from the source document.},
