A Study of Academic Achievement in Relation to Family Environment and Psychological Well-being

The adolescent is the fundamental capital of any nation, and it should be protected and preserved for the betterment of the society and country. This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic achievement, family environment, and PWB. There were 300 adolescents between the ages of 15-18 years old in the study. The indicators of academic achievement used by the researchers were academic achievement scores based on the cumulative percentage of grades from the two previous classes. The family environment scale (FES) developed by Bhatia and Chadha (1993) and the psychological well-being scale developed by Ryff (1989) were used to assess the impact of family environment and PWB on the academic achievement of adolescents. Results indicated that male and female adolescents differ in terms of academic achievement, familial environment, and physiological well-being. Academic achievement, family environment, and PWB all have found a strong correlation. Regression analysis results revealed that family environment and PWB together explained 29.4% of the variance in academic achievement.
