Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of parental behaviour in predicting academic self-esteem in truant students. A sample of 123 high school students (63 females and 60 males) from Mashhad was selected using a multistage random sampling method. They completed the Children's Reports of Parental Behaviour Inventory (CRPBI) and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI). The study used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis. The results indicate that excessive involvement (β=-0.208) and continuous discipline (β=-0.226) negatively predict academic self-esteem, whereas orientation (β=0.286), affirmation and positive opinion expression (β=0.270) and participation in affairs  (β=0.239) positively predict academic self-esteem. The results suggest that parental behaviours indicating high control and low freedom may reduce academic self-esteem. In contrast to being sensitive to children's changes and progress, increasing academic self-esteem is associated with being involved in activities and having mild disciplinary patterns.
