Abstract: This study carries out empirical researches among Mainland Chinese high school students to explore the impactof parent’s socioeconomic status on perceived parental pressure and test anxiety. The discoveries of the studyinclude- perceived parental pressure has significant impact on test anxiety; parents’ occupations, parents’ incomeand mother’s education have significant impact on perceived parental pressure; parents’ occupations, parents’income and mother’s education have significant impact on test anxiety. There are sufficient evidences to supportthe notion that the ethic stressing family glory and material success can be a major source of perceived parentalpressure and test anxiety in China. Another finding of the study is that there may exist a mediation relationshipamong parent’s socioeconomic status, perceived parental pressure, and test anxiety. By controlling perceivedparental pressure, the mediator variable, the impact of parent’s socioeconomic status on test anxiety can begreatly reduced.
