“…Importantly, recent research has suggested a link between body image dissatisfaction and test anxiety. For instance, Trikoilis (2023) found that body image dissatisfaction affected adolescents' test anxiety by reducing their physical activity. Therefore, test anxiety might be a more pertinent mediator in the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and academic buoyancy.…”

Academic buoyancy has a significant and stable effect on adolescent academic achievement. Thus, it is vital to examine the antecedent variables of academic buoyancy. However, little research has examined the effect of body image dissatisfaction on academic buoyancy. This study investigates the link between body image dissatisfaction and academic buoyancy in Chinese adolescents, focusing on the mediating roles of social anxiety and basic psychological needs satisfaction. Using the Negative Physical Self Scale, the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale, and the Academic Buoyancy Scale, questionnaires were administered to 516 high school students in Henan and Hunan provinces in China. The results revealed that: (1) basic psychological needs satisfaction mediated the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and academic buoyancy among Chinese adolescents; (2) social anxiety and basic psychological needs satisfaction had a serial mediating role between body image dissatisfaction and academic buoyancy among Chinese adolescents. This research provides a pioneering exploration of the effect of body image dissatisfaction on academic buoyancy and its mechanisms. Implications for secondary school education practices and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Regarding the family environment model of test anxiety, family communication and structures, relationship amongst family members, and encouragement for personal growth are key determinants of academic anxiety of adolescents (Peleg-Popko and Klingman, 2002). Past research has also revealed an inverse correlation between family functioning and academic anxiety of adolescents (e.g., Trikoilis, 2023;Zanabazar et al, 2023).…”

“…Question 2 : Does family functioning predict adolescent academic anxiety? According to Peleg-Popko and Klingman’s (2002) family model of test anxiety and past studies ( Chen et al, 2023 ; Trikoilis, 2023 ), our second hypothesis is that family functioning would inversely predict adolescent academic anxiety.…”

While family functioning is crucial to adolescent developmental outcomes, the mediating role of spirituality in the relationship between family functioning and academic-related outcomes of adolescents has been sparsely explored, particularly in non-Western contexts. To address this gap, based on a short-term longitudinal study, we examined the influence of family functioning on the academic values and academic anxiety of 4,981 Chinese adolescents in Sichuan, China, with spirituality as the mediator. We gathered data from students aged 11 and above at Wave 1 and at six months later (Wave 2). Analysis utilizing structural equation modeling indicated that prior family functioning positively and negatively predicted subsequent academic values and academic anxiety respectively, with spirituality as a significant mediator. Theoretically, this study helps to build up a conceptual model on how family functioning and spirituality of adolescents shape academic values and academic anxiety of adolescents. Practically, the present findings highlight the significance of enhancing family functioning and adolescent spirituality to help adolescents strive for academic success.
