Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the development of a prediction model for academic enthusiasm based on cognitive abilities and academic self-concept mediated by emotional self-regulation in high school students in Chalus. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population of the study includes all male and female high school students in Chalus in the academic year 1401-1402. The final sample size was increased to 250 by calculating overestimation and predicting subject attrition. The multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used. To collect data, the emotional self-regulation questionnaires of Gross and John (2003), the academic enthusiasm of Pentrich et al. (1991), the cognitive ability of Nejati (2013), and the academic self-concept of Chin (2003) were used. SPSS-26 and AMOS-18 software were used to analyze the data. The results showed that cognitive abilities, academic self-concept, and emotional self-regulation had a positive and significant relationship with academic enthusiasm (p<0.01). The results also indicated that emotional self-regulation played a mediating role in the relationship between cognitive abilities, academic self-concept, and academic enthusiasm.
