Objective: Academic buoyancy is one of the factors influencing learning and can affect students' academic achievement in various ways. The present study was conducted the aim of explaining the academic buoyancy of students based on family communication patterns and academic support through the mediating role of self-directed learning.Methods: The research method was correlational of structural equation modeling type. The statistical population included all male and female students of junior high school in Sanandaj in the academic year of 2022-2023, from which 390 students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. They answered Dehghanizade & Hosein chari’s Academic Buoyancy questionnaire (2013), Koerner & Fitzpatrick’s Family Communication Patterns questionnaire (2006), Sands & Plunket’s Academic Support questionnaire (2005) and Self-Directed Learning questionnaire of Cheng et al (2010). The data were analyzed with the structural equations modeling via Spss-24 and Amos-24 softwares.Results: The findings corroborated the good fitness of the model with research data. According to the findings, the direct paths from the conversational pattern, academic support and self-directed learning to academic buoyancy were positive and significant and for the conformity pattern was negative and significant. Also, the indirect paths from family communication patterns and academic support to self-directed learning to academic buoyancy were positive and significant and for the conformity pattern was negative and significant.Conclusion: In conclusion, the self-directed learning can play a mediating role in the relationship between family communication patterns and academic support with academic buoyancy in students.

The aim of present study was comparison the effectiveness of academic buoyancy and emotion regulation training on academic meaning and academic adjustment. This study in terms of aim was applied and in terms of methodology was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with control group. Research population consisted of 11th grade students in three districts of Mashhad in 2018-19 academic years. From them 60 students were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into three equal groups. The experimental groups trained 12 sessions of 70 minutes separately with the academic buoyancy and emotion regulation methods and control group don’t received any training. Research tools were the questionnaires of academic meaning (Henderson-King & Smith, 2006) and academic adjustment (Baker & Siryk, 1984). Data in the SPSS-21 were analyzed with multivariate analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test methods. Results indicated the effectiveness of both method of academic buoyancy and emotion regulation training in increasing academic meaning and academic adjustment (p < 0/001). Also there was no significant difference between methods in increasing academic meaning and academic adjustment (P>0/05). Therefore, it is recommended that counselors and psychologists use the methods of academic buoyancy and emotion regulation training for increase academic meaning and academic adjustment.
