Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between beliefs about adversity and learning engagement and the mediating role of loneliness and meaning in life. A total of 997 high school students in 18 classes from the first to the third year in three general high schools were selected for the study by using a whole group sampling method. The Adversity Beliefs Scale, the Adolescent Loneliness Questionnaire, the Sense of Meaning in Life Scale and the Engagement in Learning Scale were administered. The results showed that beliefs about adversity did not directly predict academic engagement of high school students; loneliness and meaning in life mediated the relationship between beliefs about adversity and academic engagement. Specifically, beliefs about adversity predicted high school students' learning engagement through the separate mediation of meaning in life and serial mediation of loneliness and meaning in life. Thus, loneliness and meaning in life are important mediating mechanisms for beliefs about adversity to influence high school students' learning engagement. And beliefs about adversity can promote high school students' learning engagement by reducing loneliness and enhancing meaning in life.
