The sampling technique in this study is by using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection method uses a scale of perceptions of parents' expectations and fear of academic failure, which refers to the dimensions of parents expectations from Sasikala and Karunanidhi (2011) and aspects of fear of failure from Conroy (2004).The results of the research hypothesis test showed a relationship between perceptions of parents' expectations and fears of academic failure with a positive correlation of 0,366 and significance of 0.000 (p <0.05). These results indicate a relationship between perceptions of parents' expectations and fears of academic failure, so the hypothesis in this study was accepted.
