Research Interests
Doctoral thesis: Influence of parenting practices on school functioning and the orientation of post-secondary studies.
I am interested in parents’ influence on their children’s academic motivation and academic success. Research indicates that parental involvement has a positive influence on learning and academic success. However, parental involvement tends to decrease when children reach high school. In addition, some parents get involved only when their children experience difficulties in school, while others consider that they do not have the capacity to contribute at this stage of their children’s education. My research seeks to analyze the factors that influence parental educational involvement on students’ motivation, academic success and career orientation in the last year of high school.

Research Interests
My name is Ghita Rehimini and I’m a doctoral student in psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). My research interests include child development, school motivation and educational inequalities. I’m particularly interested in how children from different socio-economic backgrounds experience and perform in the school system, and the psychological and social factors that influence their trajectory.
These interests are also reflected in my humanitarian work through the organization Exporte Supporte, which uses education as a tool for inclusion, success and community development. Passionate about sport and deeply committed to equity in education, I seek to bridge the gap between research, clinical practice and community action.

Research interests
I'm interested in the conditions that support the well-being and quality of life of young people, both during and after their school careers. I'm also interested in ways of supporting families to foster a caring climate at home, conducive to the positive development of children and healthy communication between family members. I have a keen interest in self-compassion - both as an individual skill and as a relational lever - as well as in ways of cultivating it to support mental health from a preventive perspective. Finally, I'm interested in the implementation and impact of evidence-based psycho-educational interventions, particularly those that promote parental involvement and the quality of family relationships.
