Abstract

Reading cultivation is an important task of education. In order to ensure the sustainable reading behavior of high school students, more and more scholars begin to pay attention to the research of reading psychology. In order to explore the psychological mechanism of high school students' reading, based on the theory of self-efficacy and achievement motivation, this study explores the chain intermediary model of 600 high school students' reading motivation influencing reading satisfaction through reading self-efficacy and social support. The results show that there are significant positive predictors among reading motivation, reading self-efficacy, social support and reading satisfaction. At the same time, reading self-efficacy and social support play an intermediary role between reading motivation and reading satisfaction of high school students respectively, and jointly play a chain intermediary role. The research results are of great theoretical and practical significance for understanding the reading psychology of senior high school students and ensuring their sustainable reading behavior.

Keywords: High school students; Reading motivation; Reading satisfaction; Reading self-efficacy; Social support.
