The review asserts, citing Shin et al. (2016) and Song et al. (2015), that parental pressure 'frequently predicts positive academic outcomes' among East Asian children. The review presents this as a narrative synthesis of cited studies; no effect sizes are printed.

"Although parental pressure may sometimes conflict with perceptions of support, it frequently predicts positive academic outcomes such as stronger mastery goals, higher self-efficacy, and greater use of self-regulatory strategies among East Asian children (e.g., Shin et al., 2016; Song et al., 2015)."
