Helicopter parenting is a concept that is often associated with parents who become overly involved in their children’s lives. This type of parenting, particularly when used by mothers, has been revealed to have a detrimental impact on the self-efficacy and mindset (e.g. growth vs. fixed) of young adults. Essentially, we sought to incorporate these variables in the relationship between helicopter parenting and a student’s college experience. Through an online survey, we measured Kent State students’ attitudes towards their own parents as well as multiple facets of students’ college experiences (e.g. academic major satisfaction, integration, retention). Findings from the surveys revealed that students with low self-efficacy also reported having helicopter fathers. In comparison, students with helicopter mothers indicated having high self-efficacy as well as a growth mindset which differs from previous findings. Although helicopter parenting had a marginal impact on students’ college experiences, there is still much to be expanded upon.
