The Structural Relationships of the Islamic Lifestyle and the Academic Success with the Mediation through Adaptation to School

This study seeks to investigate the structural relationships of the Islamic lifestyle and the academic success with the mediation through adaptation to school using the structural equation modeling.

The statistical population of the study was 7370 students, all senior secondary school students in Kerman, Iran. From among this population, 380 people (220 girls and 160 boys) were selected as a sample using the stratified random sampling method, and they answered three questionnaires: Kaviani’s Islamic Lifestyle (2012), Salehi’s Academic Success (2014), and Sinha’s and Singh’s Adjustment Inventory for School Students (1993). Data analysis was performed by path analysis method of structural equation modeling by the software of SPSS22 and AMOS16.

The findings showed that the path coefficient between the Islamic lifestyle variable and academic success in the complete-effect model without a mediating variable was significant. Furthermore, these findings confirmed the direct effect of Islamic lifestyle on academic success, and the variable of the adaptation to school mediated this relationship.

Accordingly, to increase these two characteristics, it can be suggested that measures be taken to promote the components of the Islamic stylization of students.
