Research tools included Disposition, Emotional security, Academic self-regulation, and Destructive academic behaviors questionnaires. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.<br> <b>Results:</b> Findings indicated that disposition, emotional security, and academic self-regulation had a direct effect on educational destructive behaviors. Disposition had an indirect effect on academic destructive behaviors by mediating role of emotional security and academic self-regulation. In addition, emotional security had a direct effect on academic self-regulation. Therefore, it was concluded that disposition predicts and explains destructive academic behaviors both directly and through the mediation of emotional security and academic self-regulation.<br> <b>Conclusions:</b> According to the findings of the present study, it is suggested that the mediating role of emotional security and academic self-regulation in destructive academic behaviors should be included in educational, mental health, and research programs.</span></span></span></span></div> Emotional security, Disposition, Academic self-regulation, Academic destructive behaviors 0 0 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-859-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Farhad Khormaei khormaei@shirazu.ac.ir 100319475328460011408 100319475328460011408 Yes Educational Psychology Department, Educational Sciences & Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Faramarz Kashkoli frikashkoli@gmail.com 100319475328460011409 100319475328460011409 No Educational Psychology Department, Educational Sciences & Psychology Faculty, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Seyed Mehdi Poorseyed pourseyed@cfu.ac.ir 100319475328460011410 100319475328460011410 No Department of Psychology and Counselling, Farhangian University, Tehran, Iran
