Abstract

Referring to the educational environment nowadays, social problems among students is one of the increasingly significant disciplinary problems. The element of self-concept should be understood more deeply to prevent this problem from spreading in the future. The  aim of the present research is to determine self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between school factors and behavior among secondary school students in Selangor.

A single questionnaire that linking several scales was utilized, in which measurements of school factors involved (Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment (IPPA), Questions of Teacher’s Interaction (QTI), School Self-Review Tools (SSRT), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social SupportZimet). Self-concept dimension was measured using Self-Concept Individual Protective Factors Index meanwhile internalizing and externalizing behaviours using ASEBA School-Age Youth Self Report (YSR). Mediator analysis shows that self-concept is a mediator on the relationship between school factor and internalizing and externalizing behaviour; self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between anxiety and school factor, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between withdrawal and all subscales of school factor, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between aggressive behaviour and school factors, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between rule-breaking behaviour and school factor. Specifically, positive self-concept can be applied to students who lack confidence and are neglected by their families, peers and teachers.
