Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relation between online social support and online learning engagement in high school students, and to examine the role of online learning self-efficacy and perceived stress. A total of 508 Chinese high school students completed the Online Social Support Scale, Online Learning Self-Efficacy Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and Learning Engagement Scale. The results showed that: 1) online social support was significantly positively correlated with online learning engagement; 2) online learning self-efficacy played a mediating role between online social support and online learning engagement; 3) perceived stress could moderate the direct path as well as the mediation process between online social support and online learning engagement. This research is insightful to understand the underlying mechanism of online social support affecting online learning engagement, which has vital significance for high school students’ online education intervention.
