School Social Support

Background and Purpose: National reports showed that over 20% of high school students were victims of bullying, which could potentially lead to psychological problems. School social support may be protective against mental distress linked with victimization. This study examined the main and moderating effects of social support from adults in schools on non-specific serious psychological distress (SPD) related to victimization among California adolescents. Methods: Utilizing the 2011-2012 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), we analyzed a representative sample of 2,799 adolescents aged 12-17 years old. Logistic regression analyses were conducted modeling the odds of SPD in relation to school social support and victimization. Results: Adolescents who were victimized were twice as likely to have SPD compared to non-victims. Higher level of social support from adults in schools was protective against SPD, but did not buffer the effect of bullying exposure. Discussion: Findings from the present study suggested that adult support from schools can help with students’ psychological problems but does not appear to prevent the psychological consequences of victimization. Additional intervention is needed, above and beyond social support, to prevent victimization and its psychological consequences.

The purpose of this article is to assess the association of test anxiety and academic performance with study skills, coping mechanism, self-concept, self-esteem, and psychological distress among university and high school students. A series of validated measures were administered to 284 Kosovar students, most of whom were in college (60.3%). Being in college and social support resulted as protective factors for test anxiety. Better study skills, self-concept, and psychological distress were indicative of higher test anxiety. Higher levels of self-esteem were associated with higher student success. Practical implications and research future directions have also been discussed.

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.

Victims Of Bullying

Bullying is still a troubling social problem. Bullying cases that occur in high school students have caused many problems both physically and psychologically. Bullying is a phenomenon that is very much, rooted, passed down from generation to generation. The seriousness of bullying is a big problem for all of us. The level of knowledge and concern for teachers, parents, health service teams, and the Indonesian people towards bullying is still low. Information systems are needed for management in making decisions to overcome bullying problems. Researchers in this study created a system that can be used as a means of delivering information from students to schools. The creation of this system is based on a system that is easily accessible, secure, and guarantees the confidentiality of the complainants. So that this product can help schools identify cases of bullying in schools, who are the perpetrators of bullying, and victims of bullying, with the hope that schools can stop the chain of bullying events and prevent bullying at schools. The scheme in this study is to design a website that reports bullying and provides information. The system design model used in this study is a prototype model and data was collected through observation, interviews and literature study. The programming language used is PHP and software for designing interfaces using the laravel framework. Making a database using MySQL with the XAMMP application.
