Background <p>Current research has focused on exploring the sources of parents’ anxiety about children’s education (<i>PAE</i>), and we continue in this direction by exploring the factors influencing parental educational anxiety in primary and secondary school students and the interactions among them.</p> Methods <p>Parental Educational Anxiety Measurement Questionnaire was used to measure the level of <i>PEA</i>. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was used to examine the correlation between the level of <i>PAE</i> and the demographic variables. The method of multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the demographic factors correlated with <i>PAE</i>. Two-way interactions in moderated multiple regression to examine the moderating effects of educational attainment on monthly household mortgage payments and <i>PAE</i>.</p> Results <p>Our results indicate that there were statistical differences among education level, average monthly household income, child’s stage of learning and monthly household mortgage payments; <i>PEA</i> were negatively correlated with education level and average monthly household income, and positively correlated with monthly cost of educational inputs. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that education level, average monthly household income, monthly household mortgage payment, and monthly cost of educational inputs were direct influences on <i>PEA.</i> Education level has a significant moderating effect on the monthly mortgage payment and <i>PEA</i>.</p> Conclusion <p>Education level, average monthly household income, monthly household mortgage payment, and monthly cost of educational inputs were direct influencing factor of <i>PEA.</i></p>
