Contextual factors and individual variables in school adjustment
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analize the relations between contextual variables (family support, friends support and teachers support), personal variables (self-concept and life satisfaction) and school adjustment and engagement. The sample is composed by 1615 participants from 12 to 23 years old. Pearson correlations show that all variables are significantly and positively correlated. Multivariate regression analysis shows that school engagement, self-concept, life satisfaction and friends support are directly related with school adjustment, being school engagement the most relevant variable. In the other hand, family and teacher support are indirectly related with school adjustment through self-concept and life satisfaction, which are directly related with school adjustment.
