自尊、未来时间洞察力与学业成就之间的关系:一项追踪研究

Relationships between Self-esteem,Future Time Perspective,and Academic Performance:A Longitudinal Study

采用间隔1个学期的追踪设计考察青少年自尊与未来时间洞察力的因果关系,及二者对学业成绩的影响。结果发现:(1)在控制了T1未来时间洞察力后,T1自尊可以显著正向预测T2未来时间洞察力;而在控制了T1自尊后,T1未来时间洞察力不能显著预测T2自尊。(2)在控制了T2未来时间洞察力和T2自尊后,T1未来时间洞察力和T1自尊均可显著正向预测T2学业成绩。(3)T2未来时间洞察力在T1自尊和T2学业成绩之间起部分中介作用。

Both future time perspective and self-esteem are closely related to academic achievement,but the casual relationship between future time perspective and self-esteem is unclear.The aim of the present longitudinal study was to explore reciprocal relations between future time perspective and self-esteem in early adolescents,and to examine the predictive effect of future time perspective and self-esteem on academic achievement.A total of 213 adolescents from Henan junior middle school at Grade 1 participated in the questionnaire survey twice in a six-month interval.The path analysis showed that both future time perspective and self-esteem at time 1 significantly predicted the academic achievement at time 2.The cross-lagged regression analyses for the total samples showed that self-esteem at time 1 positively predicted future time perspective at time 2,but future time perspective at time 1 failed to predict self-esteem at time 2.Also,it is found that future time perspective at time 2 mediated the relationship between self-esteem at time 1 and academic achievement at time 2.Further,implications for educational practice and suggestions were provided for the academic achievement of adolescents are discussed.
