Background and Objectives: Nowadays, strengthening and cultivation of civic behavior among children and teenagers has been given more attention due to the challenges of educational centers. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop a causal model of academic civic behavior based on the positive development of adolescence and moral intelligence with the mediating role of psychological capital.
Materials and Methods: The current research is a descriptive-correlational study based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research included all the second year high school students of Mahabad City in the academic year 2022-2023, out of which 360 people were selected as the sample size using multi-stage cluster random sampling. The tools used in the research included Golparvar's Academic Civic Behavior Questionnaire, Luthans' Psychological Capital, Arnold et al.'s Positive Adolescent Development, and Lennick and Kiel's Moral Intelligence. Data analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling.
Results: The results showed that there was a direct effect of positive youth development on academic civic behavior (β=0.829, p<0.001), moral intelligence on academic civic behavior (β=0.812, p<0.001), and psychological capital on academic civic behavior (β=0.392, p<0.001). Also, the indirect effect of positive adolescent development on academic civic behavior was through psychological capital (p<0.001, β=0.257) and moral intelligence on academic civic behavior was through psychological capital (p<0.001, β=0.117).
Conclusion: According to the findings of the current research, it can be said that the positive development of adolescence and moral intelligence play a key role in predicting academic civic behavior, and it seems necessary for educational centers to pay more attention to these variables in predicting academic civic behavior.
