    Slovak adolescents' self-concept as a predictor of their school engagement
    (inScience Press : Lisabon, 2024) Žitniaková Gurgová, Beata; Ďuricová, Lenka
    A student's school engagement is a significant factor in his/her school success (Appleton et al., 2006; Simons-Morton & Chen, 2009; Wang, 2009). Student self-concept is also associated with school performance according to previous research (e.g., Marsh & Martin, 2011). The present study builds on the results of the investigation of the correlations between the overall self-concept of Slovak adolescents and their school engagement. However, its aim is to confirm the individual dimensions of adolescents' self-concept in the Piers-Harris sense in the role of predictors of their overall school engagement. Thus, the ambition of the research study is to contribute to the explanation of the construct of school engagement. The research sample consists of 1013 adolescents (AMage = 17.00, SDage = 1.27) from different regions of the Slovak Republic. ASCSS/Adolescents' Self-Concept Short Scale (Veiga & Leite, 2016) and SES-4DS/Student Engagement in Schools - Four-dimensional Scale (Veiga, 2016) were used as research instruments. Multiple regression analysis deepened the results of the correlational analysis and a statistically significant regression model explained approximately 45% of the adolescent school engagement variable. In the role of significant predictors in relation to school engagement, the model confirms three of the six dimensions of adolescents' self-concept in the Piers-Harris sense: behaviour, popularity, and intellectual status. The discussion focuses on finding parallels with the dimensions of the construct of school engagement (behavioural, affective and cognitive). The results of the research study (despite its limits: self-reports, data collection) can be used in setting up intervention programs oriented towards strengthening students' school engagement and secondarily improving their academic performance.

    The predictive influence of the big five personality traits on adolescent self-concept
    (inScience Press : Lisabon, 2024) Pašková, Lucia; Ďuricová, Lenka
    In today's dynamic and changing environment, the adolescent's social environment and social inclusion are vital because of the formative influence of experiences with the social environment on the adolescent's self-concept. Self-concept is among the most important predictors of mental health and quality of life in contemporary adolescents. The underlying concept of the present paper is the Piers-Harris model of self-concept, which is viewed following the Big Five concept. The main aim of the present study is to analyse the predictive influence of the Big Five personality traits on adolescents' self-concept. The research population comprised 1 013 Slovak adolescents (73% female, AM age = 17.00, SD age = 1.27). The research instruments used were the ASCSS/Adolescents' Self-concept Short Scale (Veiga & Leite, 2016) and the Slovak version of the NEO FFI personality questionnaire (Ruisel & Halama, 2007). Correlational analysis showed several moderately significant relationships between the Big Five factors and individual dimensions and with adolescents' overall self-concept. Regression analysis subsequently demonstrated a clear predictive effect of personality on adolescent self-acceptance, demonstrating that personality traits are an important source of adolescents' self-definition. Mental health promotion also emphasises the promotion of a favourable self-concept in adolescents, which creates room for the influence of professionals in counselling or school psychology. The paper is part of the project VEGA 1/0765/21 Multidimensional self-concept of the digital adolescent generation in Slovakia and its contexts.
