This paper aimed to examine the predicting role of social support (family and friends) and academic stress on life satisfaction among adolescents in Malaysia. A total of 359 secondary school students (mean of age= 16.26; 133 male adolescents, 37.0%) in Selangor were selected with cluster sampling method. Self-administrated questionnaires with existing established measurements were used for collecting response. Prior to conducting regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis was ran for testing the relationship between social support (family and friends), academic stress and life satisfaction. Results showed that both social support from family (r = .433, p < .01) and social support from friends (r = .483, p < .01) had significant positive relationship with life satisfaction. On the other hand, academic stress (r = -.011, p > .05) was failed to significantly related to life satisfaction. Thus, only social support from friends and family were included in regression analysis. By controlled respondents’ background, social support from friends (β = 0.382, p < 0.001) and social support from family (β = 0.297, p < 0.001) were found to be the predictors of adolescents’ life satisfaction. By interpreting the unstandardized beta values, social support from friends contributed higher predicting effect on adolescents’ life satisfaction as compared with social support from family. In order to increase life satisfaction among adolescents, intervention should focus on the social support that provided by both family members and friends.

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the role of Emotional Regulation (ER) and resilience in predicting students' academic burnout. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of the study included all female secondary school students of the 10th-grade of the humanities and experimental sciences (N=305) in the second semester of 2018-2019 in Shabestar City, Iran. Accordingly, a sample of 100 individuals was selected by cluster sampling method. To collect the required data, the Academic Burnout Questionnaire (Breso et al., 1997), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John, 2003), and the Samuels' Academic Resilience Scale (2004) were used. Results: The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis methods. The obtained results indicated that ER and academic resilience explained 37% of the total variance of academic burnout in the examined students. The F-value indicated that the prediction of academic burnout was significantly based on ER and academic resilience in the study participants (P=0.001). Conclusion: As per the present study, the long-term planning to increase the explored variables will be an essential step in preventing students' academic burnout.

The Relationship

Canada’s high school graduation rates are still low when compared to other members of the OECD. Previous studies have found academic involvement is associated with positive trajectories toward graduation, that social support promotes student engagement, and that school belonging could mediate this relationship. Still, little is known about the specificity of such mediation, especially in Québec. Therefore, this study examined the role of belonging as mediator of the relationship between social support and academic involvement. Participants ( N = 238) were high-school students from the Greater Montréal Area. All variables were measured by the School-Climate Questionnaire. Results from hierarchical multiple regressions indicated parental support had a direct relationship, whereas peer and teacher support had a mediated relationship by school belonging with academic involvement. Results highlight the critical role of school belonging in promoting academic involvement in relation to social support.

So the number of samples was 758. The research instrument was a questionnaire or Media Perception Evaluation Scale (MPES) questionnaire containing 28 question items. Data for all parameters using a Microsoft Excel database. Pearson correlation was used to study the correlation between variables and independent t-test was used to compare groups with SPSS version 22.
