Abstrakt: This study examines how a specific form of parental support—parental validation—is related to students' college experiences and institutional commitment. Results based on a survey of first-generation and low-income students indicated that parental validation is related to students' social and academic engagement, sense of belonging, and institutional commitment. Students' sense of belonging also contributes to explaining the relationship between parental validation and students' institutional commitment. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
