Abstract

The aim of the study was to test mediating role of goal orientations in the relationship between parental attachment and school life satisfaction. The participants were a total of 391 (224 female and 167 male) high school students. The instruments were Parent and Peer Attachment Scale, Goal Orientation Scale and Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale. The data of the study was tested by using the analyses of Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. In the findings of the study, it was seen that learning goal orientation had a partial mediating role in the relationship between parental attachment and school life satisfaction.
