the causal relationship between school atmosphere and health-centered academic lifestyle behaviors mediating academic conflict in students

The aim of the present study was to investigate the causal relationship between school climate and health-oriented academic lifestyle behaviors mediating academic engagement in students. The statistical population included all elementary students (second year) of Boroujerd city in the academic year 2020-21 in the number of 16,000, of which 450 people were randomly selected as a sample. Research data using questionnaires of health-oriented academic lifestyle behaviors (HC-ALFB) Salehzadeh et al. (2017), school climate (SC) Lee et al. (2017), and academic engagement (AC) Zarang (2012) Was collected. Data were analyzed using the structural equation method. The results of structural equation modeling showed that school climate has a significant direct role in behaviors that facilitate students' health-oriented academic lifestyle (p <0.01). Also, school climate indirectly and through academic conflict has a significant effect on behaviors that facilitate a healthy academic lifestyle (p <0.01). Finally, the results of model fit indices showed that the proposed model fits relatively well with the data and can explain the variance of health-oriented academic lifestyle facilitating behaviors. These findings indicate that considering the variables of school climate and academic conflict, we can expect an increase in the health-oriented academic lifestyle behaviors of students.
