| Abstract: | This study investigated the relationships among school satisfaction, social support, and problem behaviors in adolescents.
Modest associations were found between school satisfaction and the demographic variables of gender, race, age, and grade level.
Support from teachers, parents, and classmates contributed unique variance to ratings of school satisfaction; with teacher
support contributing the most unique variance. School satisfaction mediated the relationship between social support and internalizing
and externalizing behaviors. School satisfaction did not moderate the relationship between social support and problem behavior;
however, it did serve as a protective factor across all levels of social support. Implications are discussed, including suggestions
for developing interventions that focus on increasing support for adolescents in efforts to improve school satisfaction and
reduce problem behaviors. |
