The Relations Among Pupils' Attachment To Parents, Peer Acceptance, Teacher Acceptance, Academic Achievement And Loneliness

The social adaptation and the academic adaptation are the two big subjects of children's socialization,as well as the research highlight of the education and the developmental psychology. Under the background, according to the social ecology theory, the present research tried to investigate the relationships among pupils'attachment to parents, peer acceptance, teacher acceptance, academic achievement and loneliness. Peer nominations and Questionnaire method were applied in this survey. 876 children and their teachers from Henan Province elementary school, from Grade 3 to Grade 5, took part in this study.The results showed that:1. There was significant grade difference on scores of loneliness, the third grade loneliness is highest, then it was the Grade 5 and the Grade 4 in turn.2. There were significant correlations among pupil's attachment to parents, peer acceptance, teacher acceptance, academic achievement and loneliness, but after we controlled other variables, we found there were still significant partial correlations among child-mother attachment, child-father attachment, teacher acceptance, negative nomination and loneliness, but academic achievement, positive nomination and loneliness partial correlation were not significant. Controlled other variables, there were significant partial correlations between academic achievement and child-mother attachment, child-father attachment, teacher acceptance, negative nomination.3.The pupils who have low level attachment to parents reported higher scores of loneliness than the ones who have high level attachment to parents; The pupils who have low horizontal teacher acceptance loneliness were obviously higher than the ones who have high level teacher acceptance; The pupils who have low academic achievement loneliness obviously were higher than those pupils who have middle and the high academic achievement; Different peer relations status pupils'scores of loneliness from low to high in turn was: popular children——controversial c h i l d r e n——a v e r a g e c h i l d r e n——n e g l e c t e d children——rejected children, rejected pupils'scores of loneliness were obviously higher than the other ones, popular pupils'scores of loneliness were lowest, the differences lying in the other groups were not significant.4. The child-mother attachment, the teacher acceptance, the peer negative nomination could predict loneliness scores, child-mother attachment competence accounted for the most variance in loneliness, in turn did the teacher acceptance and the peer negative nomination; The child-father attachment, the teacher acceptance, the peer negative nomination could predict loneliness scores, the teacher acceptance competently accounted for the most variance in loneliness, in turn did child-father attachment and the peer negative nomination. But there were significant gender difference, grade difference and family difference on them.5. Academic achievement could predict pupils'attachment to parents, the peer acceptance and the teacher acceptance highly.6. Results from SEM indicated that, pupils'attachment to parents, peer acceptance, teacher acceptance had partial mediator effect between academic achievement and loneliness. Pupils'attachment to parents, peer acceptance, teacher acceptance could together predict loneliness directly.
