Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between teachers praise, classroom environment and eighth grade students’ mental health.
Methods:Based on the baseline data in 2013-2014 and panel data in 2014-2015 of China Education Panel Survey, 9 207 eight grade students followed up for 1 years were selected as subjects. Associations between teacher praise with classroom environment and mental health among students were analyzed by cross lagging analysis.
Results:Teachers’ praise at T1 could significantly predict the classroom environment at T2(β=0.09, P<0.01), and couldn’t significantly predict the mental health at T2(β=0.02, P>0.05); Classroom environment at T1 could significantly predict teachers’ praises (β=0.10, P<0.01) and mental health at T2 (β=0.08, P<0.01); Mental health at T1 significantly predicted the teachers’ praises at T2(β=0.09, P<0.01), and the class environment of T2(β=0.06, P<0.01).
Conclusion:There is a causal relationship between teacher’ praise, class environment and students’ mental health.
