Abstract
This research investigates the effects of supportive parenting style, academic self-concept, and expectancy-value beliefs on Mandarin academic achievement among first-year vocational college students in central and western China. Standardized scales and the Putonghua Proficiency Test were employed, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. The results confirm that all three predictors exert significant and positive influences, with supportive parenting emerging as the strongest factor. These findings underscore the decisive role of family support and motivational beliefs in language achievement and offer practical implications for educational policy and family engagement in multicultural and under-resourced contexts.
