Main Results:

  • Parental support significantly predicted school attachment and involvement (R² = .11).
  • Teacher support was a significant predictor of overall school attachment (R² = .03), explaining variance beyond parental support.
  • Both parental and teacher support play distinct roles in student school engagement.

Conclusions:
