The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a positive psycho-educational program on coping styles and academic well-being in female students. In this quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control-group design and followed by two months, 27 students in the experimental group and 25 students in the control group before and after positive psycho-educational training program, answered the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-Short Form (CISS-SF), School Engagement Inventory (SEI) and the School Burnout Inventory (SBI). The experimental group received 7 two-hour sessions of positive psycho-educational training package. The results of simple mixed ANOVA indicated that in the short and long term, the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the task-oriented coping style and school engagement and in decreasing dimensions of nonadaptive coping styles including emotion-coping style and avoidance coping style and school burnout. The results of the present study consistent with the results of other studies in the field of positive education, showed that psycho-educational positive intervention by strengthening learners' coping resources and equipping learners with psychological capital and mental strength was effective in creating skills based on psychological immunization of learners along with other traditional academic skills in them.

The purpose of the present study was to explanation the model of academic performance based on academic motivation, achievement goals and academic self-efficacy with the mediation of academic engagement of secondary school students in Tehran city. The research was practical and the method was correlational with structural equation modeling. The statistical population was all second-grade students, who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling(470). The research instruments were the Miguel et al. Achievement goals Questionnaire, Wallarand et al. academic Motivation Questionnaire, Morris academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and Pintrich et al. the Motivation Strategy Questionnaire for learning. The data were analyzed using correlational methods and structural equation modeling. The results showed that model of research variables had a favorable fit. In the assumed model, academic motivation with academic performance is mediated by academic engagement, has a complete effect and direct effect and indirect effect is non-significant. The goals of progress with academic performance with the mediation of academic engagement had a complete and direct effect and a non-significant indirect effect. The effect of academic self-efficacy with academic performance with the mediation of academic engagement had a complete effect and a significant direct effect, but the indirect effect is not significant. The effect of academic self-efficacy was significant with academic performance at the 5% level. The results showed that the variable of self-efficacy has a significant effect on academic performance and can explain 35% of the variance of academic performance.

The aim of present study was to investigate the role of personality trait and dimensions of family communication environment in academic engagement with the mediating role of passion. For this purpose, 375 secondary high school students (200 girls and 175 boys) were selected from district two of Yazd who were studying in the academic year of 2017-18 by multi-stage cluster sampling were selected. The measures of study were the personality trait scale (NEO-FFI) (Costa & McCary, 1992), the family communication environment scale (FCEI) (Fitzpatrick & Ritchie, 1994), the academic engagement scale (Schaufeli et al., 2002) and passion scale (Vallerand et al., 2003). Results of structural equation modeling showed that conscientiousness and expressiveness have direct positive effect on academic engagement. Extraversion from personality traits and structural traditionalism from family communication environment had only positive indirect effect (with mediation of passion) on academic engagement. Therefore, it is possible to introduce latent variable of passion as an effective mediator in the path of the effectiveness of personality and family factors on latent variable of academic engagement.

Academic performance in each society indicates the success of the educational system in targeting and paying attention to individual needs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to the role of self-determination on academic performance in adolescent students with mediating academic engagement and attitude toward e-learning. The present research is an applied and correlation research method by Structural Equation Modeling. A total of 300 people (150 females and 150 males) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling from all adolescents aged 12 to 14 years old in public and non-profit schools in Tehran. All of them completed La Guardia et al self-identification questionnaires, Fredricks, & McColskey academic engagement, and Pilli et al attitude toward E-learning. For data analysis, Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling have been used. The results showed that self-determination, educational conflict and attitude toward e-learning and educational performance were significantly correlated. Also, the results of the model showed that self-determination (0.81), educational conflict (0.31) and attitude toward E-learning (0.22) have a direct effect on academic performance. In addition, self-determination due to educational conflict and attitude toward e-learning on academic performance (0.45) had indirect effect. Finally, the results of this study have shown that self-determination, academic engagement and attitude toward E-learning can have a positive and significant effect on academic performance and use them to enhance the academic performance of students.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of attributional retraining program on students’ positive and negative achievement emotions and academic engagement. In this pretest-posttest nonequivalent-group design with follow up stage, 41 undergraduate students at Shahid Beheshti University in experimental and control groups responded to the Academic Emotion Questionnaire-Revised (AEQ-R, Abdollahpour, 1394) and the Academic Engagement Inventory (AEI, Salmela-Aro & Upadaya, 2012). The experimental group received seven resilience training sessions (Two hours a session). The results of multivariate covariance analysis indicated that attributional retraining program was effective in increasing positive class-related, learning-related and test-related emotion scales and components of the academic engagement consisted on energy, dedication and absorption and in decreasing negative class-related, learning-related and test-related emotion scales in short term and long term. These findings suggest that attributional retraining program by increasing empowering interpretations, management of emotional experiences and enrichment of interpersonal relationships skills could result in mental immunization in university students when they exposure to stressful situations.
