Abstract

This study aimed to test whether assertiveness is a mediator between academic self-efficacy and popularity, and whether social preference would have a moderating effect on the mediation of assertiveness. The participants consisted of 789 students, including 512 girls and 277 boys, selected from four high schools located in a city centre in the Central Anatolian region of Turkey. The participants were 9th–12th-grade students in 34 different classes. The average age of students was 15.40. This research was a cross-sectional design. Model 4 was used to examine the mediating effect, and Model 5 was used to test the conditional indirect effects in Process Macro. Findings showed that the effect of academic self-efficacy social status on popularity is partially mediated by assertiveness. On the other hand, assertiveness fully mediated the association between academic self-efficacy technical skills and popularity. Moreover, the mediating effect of assertiveness on the association between academic self-efficacy and social status, academic self-efficacy technical skills and popularity is moderated by social preference levels.

青少年学业自我效能感与受欢迎程度：自信与社会偏好的中介模型

本研究旨在检验自信是否在学业自我效能与受欢迎程度之间起中介作用，以及社会偏好是否在自信的中介作用中起调节作用。参与者由789名学生组成，其中包括512名女生和277名男生，他们是从位于土耳其中部安纳托利亚地区市中心的四所高中中挑选出来的。参与者是34个不同班级的9 - 12年级学生。学生的平均年龄为15.40岁。本研究采用横断面设计。模型4用于检验中介效应，模型5用于检验过程宏中的条件间接效应。研究发现，学业自我效能感、社会地位对受欢迎程度的影响部分由自信介导。另一方面，自信完全中介了学业自我效能感、技术技能与受欢迎程度之间的关系。此外，自信在学业自我效能感与社会地位、学业自我效能感、专业技能和受欢迎程度之间的中介作用受社会偏好水平的调节。
