Hello fellow researchers,
I am writing an introduction on a new article on social marginalization in school, where I wish to refer to leading research on well-being (or school belonging) and academic achievement in school. Do you know any articles in which the relationship between student well-being and academic achievement is analyzed thoroughly? Is there any evidence that more well-being leads to higher academic achievements? How strong is this relationship and has it been quantified in former research?
Thanks for your suggestions in advance.
Hello Martin,
This is an interesting area. I am aware of and quite interested in the well-being of academic colleagues and our joint paper on ' Manifesto for the future of work and organizational psychology' by Bal, P. M., Doci, E., Lub, X., Van Rossenberg, Y. G., Nijs, S., Achnak, S., ... & De Gieter, S. (2019) in European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 28(3), 289-299 highlights a number of aspects which you may find useful. Please let me know.
Dear Martin,
the following publication might help you:
Steinmayr, R., Heyder, A., Naumburg, C., Michels, J., & Wirthwein, L. (2018). School-Related and Individual Predictors of Subjective Well-Being and Academic Achievement. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, 2631. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02631

Best regards,

Good question, and often overlooked.
Science and philosophy in Western countries began in the Greek province of Ionia, in present Turkey - and an degree of riches and wellbeing and access to free time was an important factor it seems in this province Which had become rich by trade.
in the same way, a student that is homeless, sick and hungry and on the brink of survival cannot be expected to be very engaged in his or her studies.
A very interesting read on the subject is
Mullainathan, S., & Shafir, E. (2013). Scarcity: Why having too little means so much. Macmillan.
The authors say that ”scarcity captures the mind”. See parts of the book in Google books and see also a review below. Interesting read!
