Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to investigate the structural relationships between feelings of connectedness and self-compassion with students' academic well-being based on the mediating role of emotional self-awareness. This descriptive correlational study was performed on students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. A number of 350 students (181 males and 169 females) who were selected through multi-stage sampling method completed the questionnaires of sense of coherence by Antonovsky, self-compassion by Neff, emotional self-awareness by Grant et al, academic burnout inventory by Salmela-Aro et al, and schoolwork engagement inventory by Salmela-Aro & Upadya. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling method. The hypothetical model of academic well-being provided a good fit to the research population (X2/df=2/12, RMSEA=0/05). Direct path of sense of coherence and emotional self-awareness to academic well-being was significant. But, direct path of self-compassion wasn't significant. Also, direct path of sense of coherence and self-compassion to emotional self-awareness was significant. Indirect path of sense of coherence and self-compassion with mediating role of emotional self-awareness was significant. In total, 35% of the variance of academic well-being was explained by the variables of the proposed model. Given the direct and indirect effect of sense of coherence, self-compassion and emotional self-awareness on the academic well-being, it seems that reinforcement of emotional self-awareness, self-compassion and sense of coherence may enhance student’s academic well-being.
