Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the relationship between academic engagement, ‎academic buoyancy and self-worth with life satisfaction of the high school boy ‎students in Ahwaz. In this descriptive-correlational research, the study population was ‎consisted of second grade high school boy students in the state high schools. A total of ‎‎400 students were selected as the study sample volume based on a multistage random ‎method in districts two and three of Ahwaz. The instrument used in the present study ‎was satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) by Diener et al (1985), contingencies of self-‎worth scale by Crocker et al (2003), academic buoyancy scale of Chari and ‎Dehghanizadeh (2015) and academic engagement questionnaire by Schaufeli et al ‎‎(2002). The proposed model was evaluated using path analysis method. To test the ‎indirect relations, bootstrapping test according to Preacher and Hayes Computer ‎instruction was utilized. Based on the present study’s results, the proposed model gives ‎a very good fit with the data. Generally, the results indicated that all of the direct paths ‎are significant. In addition, the indirect paths were found also statistically significant ‎hence confirmed‎‎‎‎.
