Mental engagement as a mediator between student well-being and self-reported academic achievement among Filipino college students

A study among 1,200 Filipino college students found that mental engagement acts as a crucial mediator between various aspects of student well-being and their self-reported academic achievement. Specifically, academic well-being, perceived well-being, and social well-being positively influence mental engagement, which, in turn, directly correlates with higher academic achievement. This suggests that fostering mental engagement is key to translating student well-being into improved educational outcomes.

This research provides insights into the critical role of mental engagement in educational success, highlighting that student well-being alone may not directly translate into academic achievement without it. Understanding this mediating role can inform the development of more effective strategies and interventions aimed at improving academic outcomes by focusing on holistic student support.

Academic well-being and perceived well-being show positive associations with mental engagement.
