The main purpose of conducting this survey is to systematically investigate how family environment factors influence middle school students’ learning motivation. Specifically, the questionnaire aims to (1) measure the impact of parenting style, parental expectations, economic support, and emotional atmosphere on students’ learning motivation; (2) explore the mediating role of psychological factors such as students’ self-efficacy; and (3) provide empirical evidence for strategies that parents and educators can adopt to enhance students’ motivation.
