Abstract

The present study was conducted in order to examine the mediating role of

academic resilience and academic engagement in the relationship between

academic support and academic well-being on 540 male and female high school

students in Shiraz city in the academic year (2001-2001). The sample members

were selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method and the scales of

academic support (Sands and Plunkett, 2005), academic resilience (Cassidy, 2016),

academic engagement (Fredericks et al., 2004) and well-being study (Tominin-

Sweeney et al., 2012). After collecting the data, the evaluation of the proposed

model was done with the method of structural equations and using the Imus

program. The results of the data analysis showed that academic resilience has a

significant mediating role between the relationship between academic support and

academic engagement. Academic engagement has a significant mediating role

between the relationship between academic resilience and academic well-being.

Also, academic resilience and academic engagement play a significant mediating

role between academic support and academic well-being, respectively. These

findings mean that academic support prepares students to acquire academic

resilience and flexibility in the face of academic problems and challenges, and

after acquiring this psychological component, a person is engagement and

involved in education. And learning works and finally experiences academic well-

being.
