Abstract :
Academic well-being is an important variable in the field of education and learning, whose underlying factors must be identified. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between sense of coherence, self-compassion, emotional self-awareness with academic well-being. 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.
