Good Relationships, Good Performance: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital - A Three-Wave Study Among Students
TLDR
This study examines whether academic PsyCap mediates between teacher-student relationships and academic performance as assessed by student’s GPA, using a three-wave longitudinal design.Abstract:
Academic Psychological Capital, or PsyCap, - a set of positive psychological resources encompassing hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism - has begun to gain attention in academia, showing positive relationships with desirable academic outcomes. However, studies in the field have paid limited attention to the social factors that may increase PsyCap and therefore may lead to positive outcomes. In the present study, we examine whether academic PsyCap mediates between teacher-student relationships and academic performance as assessed by student's GPA, using a three-wave longitudinal design. Through structural equation modeling, as expected, a statistically significant indirect effect was found between teacher-student relationships and academic performance via academic PsyCap. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed; strengths and weaknesses are mentioned; and future research directions are proposed.read more

Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs Leads to Better Academic Performance Via Increased Psychological Capital: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study Among High School Students
TL;DR: A model in which academic psychological capital mediates between the satisfaction of student’s basic psychological needs and their academic performance, as assessed by students’ GPA shows that students whose basic psychologicalneeds are satisfied at school experience more hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism (PsyCap), which leads to better academic performance.
