Title
Psychological
sense
of
school
membership
mediates
the
relationship
between
attachment
and
academic
motivation
in
adolescents

Abstract
Educators
and
policymakers
have
noted
and
expressed
concern
about
a
lack
of
academic
motivation
among
adolescent
high
school
students
.
Research
has
confirmed
that
intrinsic
motivation
does
decline
as
students
progress
through
school
(Lepper

,
&

.
Although
the
public
often
turns
to
schools
to
motivate
students
,
research
suggests
that
security
of
parent
attachment
is
a
strong
predictor
of
academic
motivation
and
performance
(Larose

.
Secure
relationships
with
parents
have also been
shown
to
predict
the
social
success
of
offspring
(Laible
,
Carlo
,
&
Roesch
,
2004
;
Schneider
,
Atkinson
,
&
Tardif
,
2001)
,
so
strength
of
attachment
security
with
parents
and
ability
to
form
secure
attachments
to
peers
seem
to be
positively
related
to
one
another
.
Additionally
,
social
skills
in the
early
elementary
grades
have been
tied
to
later
academic
performance
(Woodward
&
Ferguson
,
2000)
, and
adolescent
social
relationships
have been
linked
to
academic
motivation
(Soares
et
al.
,
2005
;
Learner
&
Kruger
,
1997)
,
suggesting
that
relationships
with
peers
seem
to be
very
important
for
academic
success
.
Early
acquisition
of a
model
of
secure
relationships
may
help
to
explain
why
a
sense
of
school
belonging
,
which
includes
relationships
to
other
students
and
teachers
,
is
related
to
students
'
academic
performance
as
well
(Anderman
,
2000
;
Anderman
&
Anderman
,
1999)
. The
present
study
investigated
the
relationships
among
attachment
to
parents
,
attachment
to
peers
,
psychological
sense
of
school
membership
(PSSM)
,
intrinsic
motivation
,
extrinsic
motivation
,
amotivation
, and
academic
performance
.
Self-report
data
from
173
high
school
students
was
collected
and
analyzed
using
multiple
regression
analysis
.
Significant
relationships
existed
among
parent
attachment
,
peer
attachment
,
PSSM
,
intrinsic
motivation
,
extrinsic
motivation
,
amotivation
, and
academic
performance
.
Significant
relationships
were not
found
to
exist
between
peer
attachment
and
extrinsic
motivation
, or
between
peer
attachment
and
academic
performance
.
Multiple
regression
analyses
revealed
that
PSSM
mediated
the
relationships
between
parent
attachment
and
intrinsic
,
extrinsic
, and
amotivation
.
PSSM
also
mediated
the
relationships
between
peer
attachment
and
intrinsic
and
amotivation
.
PSSM
was not
found
to
mediate
the
relationship
between
either
parent
or
peer
attachment
and
academic
performance
.
Gender
was
found
to be
significantly
related
to
peer
attachment
,
PSSM
,
intrinsic
motivation
, and
amotivation
.
