Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the role of academic self-concept (ASC) in predicting adolescent students’ school engagement by using a cross-sectional research design. Data was collected from 278 (149 males and 129 females) Ethiopian adolescents aged 15 to 20 years old. The result of regression analysis indicated that socioeconomic status (SES) and ASC significantly contributed to the overall school engagement score and the four components of school engagement (behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement). Additionally, the results from hierarchical regression revealed that SES significantly moderated the relationship between ASC and school engagement (β3=1.323; ∆R2=.033, p<.01). However, gender and grade level did not significantly relate to school engagement. As conclusion, ASC is a significant personal trait that has been linked to school engagement in which students from high SES are more advantageous regardless of their gender and grade levels.

Abstract

Adolescents’ disruptive behavior has become a global challenge. Even though the family environment has a considerable impact on adolescent disruptive behavior, this area has remained a blind spot in Ethiopian research. Hence, the present study was aimed at examining how family cohesion impacts adolescents’ disruptive behavior using adolescents’ self-regulation as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 304 adolescent students (155 males, 149 females) using ‘the Problem Behavior Frequency Questionnaire’, ‘Family Cohesion Scale’, and ‘The adolescents’ self-regulation inventory’. Correlational analysis, path analysis, and t-test were employed to examine relationships and differences. The statistical analysis yielded that disruptive behavior negatively correlated with family cohesion and self-regulation. However, the path analysis showed insignificant direct and indirect impacts of family cohesion on adolescents’ disruptive behavior. This suggests that though family cohesion is vital in shielding adolescents from engaging in various disruptive behaviors, it may be ineffective if other family environment processes including family communication, control, and conflict resolution skills do not accompany it. Disruptive behavior among adolescents differed significantly by gender, with males more likely to engage in disruptive behavior than females.
