Abstract

Introduction and purpose: the students’ academic performance plays a dramatic role in the future of every country. Therefore, the present study was conducted aiming to explain the causal model of parenting styles and academic performance with the mediator role of academic buoyancy in high school students.
Material and methods: the research method was descriptive in correlational and structural equations type. The statistical population included all male and female secondary high school students in the city of Fasa in academic year 2018-19 and their parents from whom 493 students (248 boys and 245 girls) were selected through multi-stage clustered random sampling method. Diana Baumrind’s parenting style scale, NEO-EFI five factor personality scale, academic performance scale and academic buoyancy scale were used in order to collect data. The data analysis was done after collecting the questionnaires via Pearson correlation and structural equation methods.
Findings: the results of structural equations modeling revealed that the academic buoyancy plays a significant mediator role in the relationship between parenting styles and academic performance. Moreover, the offered causal model enjoys an acceptable goodness of fit.
Conclusion: according to the findings of the present study, the parents’ parenting styles and academic buoyancy should be seriously paid attention to in the process of the students’ academic performance and success as effective variables on this process.
