The relationship of value orientations, self-control, frequency of school–leisure conflicts, and life-balance in adolescence

Social Connectedness, Academic, Non-Academic Behaviors Related To Self-Regulation among University Students in Saudi Arabia

“…Additionally, social connectedness at a young age was reported to predict health and health risk behaviors in later life (Bond et al, 2007 optimism were found to be significantly linked to performance and adjustment by Chemers et al (2001) and adolescents with high self-control avoided conflicts between school and leisure and had high life balance. These indicate that such adolescents are more capable of coordinating their goals more than their peers (Kuhnle et al, 2010a;Hofer & Kilian, 2010b). Despite the many studies that report the significant differences of the effect of social connectedness on other variables between genders, more research is called for to confirm such differences in the context of college students.…”

“…In addition to this, self-control was linked with successful control over developmental life demands (Wrosch & Freund, 2001). Adolescents characterized as having great self-control avoided conflicts between school and leisure and they have a higher life balance indicating that they are capable of coordinating their goals compared to those who have low self-control (Kuhnle et al, 2010a;Kuhnle, Hofer, & Kilian, 2010b). More importantly, researchers such as Duckworth and Seligman (2006), Shoda, Mischel, andPeak (1990), andWolfe andJohnson (1995) contended that the capacity for self-control predicts the academic achievement of students and hence, it is identical to self-regulated learning (Zimmerman, 2008).…”

How minimal grade goals and self-control capacity interact in predicting test grades

“…Future research should take a closer look at these processes. Recent research suggests that potential mediators may be quality of homework completion and classroom conduct (Duckworth et al, 2011), frequency of school-leisure conflicts (Kuhnle, Hofer, & Kilian, 2010), and school citizenship behavior (Zettler, 2011)-variables that have been shown to be associated with self-control capacity.…”

“…Based on these findings, future research might attend to variables which influence the relationship between self-control and students' performance such as value orientation (cf. Kuhnle, Hofer, & Kilian, 2010) or situational variables (e.g., social support, cf. Higgins & Boyd, 2008).…”
