Abstract

Guided by the social-ecological perspective, this study aims to explore how various social climates are associated with school motivation and the future orientation of 597 African American adolescents. We examined the direct and indirect effects of parent factors and school climate on future orientation through school motivation. School motivation was positively associated with a future orientation. Perceived parental expectations and teacher support were positively associated with their school motivation. However, bullying victimization was not negatively associated with school motivation, although greater perceived parental engagement and bullying victimization showed a more positive future orientation. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

摘要

在社会生态学观点的指导下，本研究旨在探讨各种社会气候如何与597名非洲裔美国青少年的学校动机和未来发展方向相关联。我们通过学校动机研究了父母因素和学校氛围对未来取向的直接和间接影响。学校的动机与未来的方向成正比。父母对父母的期望和老师的支持与他们的学习动机成正比。然而，欺凌受害与学校动机并没有负相关关系，尽管更多的父母参与感和欺凌受害表现出更积极的未来取向。讨论了对研究，实践和政策的影响。
