| Abstract: | Previous research has shown positive links between perceived social support and school adjustment. Nevertheless, the psychological mechanisms underlying these relationships remain unclear. This study examines the impact of teacher support on school engagement and resilience, and whether emotional intelligence mediates these relationships. The sample included 945 high school students (425 boys, 520 girls; Mage = 14.50 years, SD = 1.82) from the Basque Country. Several models are tested to analyze the effects of teacher support and emotional intelligence on school engagement and resilience. Findings support a model where teacher support has a direct effect on school engagement and a indirect effect on both engagement and resilience through emotional intelligence. These results highlight the key role of emotional intelligence in adolescence and the importance of teacher support fostering it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
