Parental Aspirations Plan: Parental educational aspirations and child academic self-concept

METHODS Participants and design
Children and their parents were assessed at three time points with an interval of 3 years, starting at the age of 9. They were part of the COCON study, a multi-cohort panel research project with a representative sample for the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. The child cohort was sampled in a two-step process (first step: 131 communities stratified by type and size; second step: random draw of 1905 households, response rate 78%). To control for potential non- response bias in sampling, we included a sampling weight in our analyses. This sampling weight controlled for the issue that some parents did not take part in the study due to lack of language skills or health issues. The child cohort was fol- lowed from the age of 6 through the age of 18.
