Andrews, Paige Marie Agriculture 4-H Parent Involvement Parent involvement can have many benefits for youth and familial relationships. This descriptive, cross-sectional survey research described parent involvement in their child’s 4-H market livestock project. The sample for the study consisted of parents who had a child enrolled in a 4-H market livestock project during 2019 in the state of Ohio. Using an adapted framework, several constructs were used to assess parent involvement. These constructs included Home Activities, 4-H Club Activities, Parental Self-Efficacy, Parental Role Construction, Invitations from the Child, 4-H Advisor and 4-H Club, Skills and Knowledge and Time and Energy. A regression analysis was utilized to predict any significant influences on their participation. This research aimed to contribute to the dearth of literature examining parent involvement in 4-H projects and revealed contextual factors that influence their engagement. Findings from the study indicated that invitations from children had the biggest influence on parent involvement in home activities while both invitations from the 4-H advisor and children were significant predictors of parent involvement in 4-H club activities. Future recommendations for practice include a change in 4-H club culture to actively include parents and for Extension personnel to create and circulate materials that promote parent involvement. Recommendations for future research include a qualitative or mixed methods study to explore the motivations for parental involvement more in-depth as well as include the perspectives of both child and advisors. 2020 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1597936948679428 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1597936948679428 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
