STUDENTS’ Engagement, Attitude Towards Physical Activity, and Psychological Well-Being of Senior High School STUDENTS

Abstract

Psychological distress is increasingly common among students in educational institutions, which usually comes from additional academic responsibilities and adjusting to a new social and educational environment. With this issue, this study aimed to determine the level and relationship of students’ engagement, attitude towards physical activity, and psychological well-being among Senior High School students. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational design using a stratified random sampling method from three identified schools in Malita North District, province of Davao Occidental. The results showed that students' overall engagement, attitude towards physical activity, and psychological well-being were high. Moreover, the combined influence of students’ engagement and attitude towards physical activity on psychological well-being is significant.
