This study aims to examine the influence of parents' economic conditions on students' cognitive abilities in Social Studies (IPS) at SMP Negeri 19 Kota Kupang. The research uses a quantitative approach with a linear regression method. A total of 56 students from a population of 126 eighth-grade students were selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through observation, tests, and questionnaires, and analyzed using linear regression and t-tests. The results show a significant influence of parents' economic conditions on students' cognitive abilities, with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05. Parents' economic conditions contribute 44% to the variation in students' cognitive performance. These findings indicate that better parental economic conditions correlate with higher student cognitive abilities.
