Abstract
This study examined the effects of family functioning, academic self-regulation, and expectations on the academic achievement of middle school students. A randomly selected sample of students from two middle schools in Guizhou City participated in the study, and data were collected using scales that had been tested for validity and reliability. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple regression analyses were employed to investigate the relationships among the variables. Correlational results showed that family functioning, self-regulation, and expectations were all positively associated with academic achievement. However, the regression analysis revealed that only self-regulation and expectations significantly predicted academic performance, whereas family functioning, although not a direct predictor, may influence academic outcomes indirectly through other variables. The findings extend the integrated framework of family systems theory, self-regulation theory, and expectancy-value theory, and provide practical implications for family education, classroom instruction, and educational policy. This research not only deepens the understanding of the interplay between motivation, family dynamics, and academic performance in educational psychology but also offers valuable insights for designing educational interventions.
