Structural equation models were established. Regarding the sample, 396 immigrant families and 418 contrast local families (with similar fathers’ educational levels) were collected from Taipei county, Tao-yuan county, Tai-chung county, Pen-hu county, Yun-lin county, and Pin-tung county. Results were as the following: 1.The model from the immigrant families was different from the local families. 2.The academic achievement of local children was not only affected by their peer relationship and parental involvements in school, but also by parents’ expectation and familial discipline. Whereas the academic achievement of immigrants’ children were only affected by peer relationship and parental involvements in school. 3.The self-efficacy of local children were affected by peer relationship and familial social economic status. However, the self-efficacy of immigrants’ children was only affected by s peer relationship in school. The researcher concluded that immigrants’ familial social economic status and familial discipline didn’t have direct effect on children’s achievement and self-efficacy. However, children’s social capital indicated by peer relationship in the research was the main factor.
