Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families in their third year of middle school influenced their adaptation to school learning activities. It also explored the mediating effect of career attitude on achievement motivation and adaptation to school learning activities. An analysis was performed on data obtained from students in the third grade of middle school who participated in the sixth wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS). The main findings were as follows. Firstly, achievement motivation exhibited a positive correlation with both career attitude and adaptation to school learning activities. Secondly, the achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families and their career attitude both exerted a positive effect on their adaptation to school learning activities. Thirdly, the mediating effect of career attitude on the relationship between adaptation to school learning activities and achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families was verified.
