Abstract: The present study examined a mediated moderation model which integrated the mediating effect of primary school students' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework and moderating effect of mathematics teacher support between parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework and primary school students' positive mathematics homework emotions. 702 students from 4th and 5th grade of five schools were measured using four questionnaires concerning perceived mathematics teacher support, parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework, students' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework, and mathematics homework emotions. The main findings were as follows:(1) Parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework was positively related to positive mathematics homework emotions. (2) Students' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework could completely mediate the relation between parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework and positive mathematics homework emotions. (3) Mathematics teacher support moderated the association between students' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework which aroused by parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework and positive mathematics homework emotions. These results suggested that mathematics teacher support, parents' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework, and students' autonomous motivation in mathematics homework had an important influence on positive mathematics homework emotions of primary school students. And findings highlight the need for distinguished levels of teacher support as well as detailed analyses of the processes underlying the association between parents' autonomous motivation in homework and positive homework emotions in mathematics.

Key words: primary school students, teacher support, parents' autonomous motivation, students' autonomous motivation, homework emotions
