Abstract

Objectives This study reveals, from a high school student perspective, the social support from parents, teachers, and friends, as well as the structural relationship of academic helplessness and self-esteem. Moreover, it explores the direct and indirect effects of social support on academic helplessness, focusing on the mediating effect of self-esteem.
 Methods For this purpose, the structural equation model was applied to Wave 4 of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018(KCYPS 2018) data set(10th grade, N = 2,265), conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute.
 Results The results are as follows: First, parental support perceived by high school students did not significantly affect academic helplessness. Second, teacher support perceived by high school students had a direct and significant negative effect on academic helplessness. Third, the effect of friend support perceived by high school students on academic helplessness was partially mediated by self-esteem and also the friend support directly affected academic helplessness negatively.
