The Association Between Parental Autonomy Support and Learning Engagement of Senior High School Students:The Roles of Intentional Self-Regulation and School Connectedness
To examine the association between parental autonomy support and learning engagement,as well as the underlying mechanism among senior high school students,977 students were recruited to complete a set of scales measuring parental autonomy support,intentional self-regulation,school connectedness and learning engagement.The results showed that:1)parental autonomy support could positively predict high school students'learning engagement;2)the mediating role of intentional self-regulation in parental autonomy support and learning engagement was significant;3)both the direct relation between parental autonomy support and learning engagement,and the mediating effect of intentional self-regulation(the association between parental autonomy support and intentional self-regulation)were moderated by school connectedness.These findings not only highlight the important role of family and school coordination in promoting students'adaptation and the underlying mechanism,but also have practical implications to promote family education and students'adaptation.
