Abstract
The present study examined the direct
influences of social support, self-esteem, and selfefficacy
on academic performance, as well as their
indirect influences, being mediated by problemfocused
coping and emotion-focused coping among
double orphans aged 11 to 15 years residing in
orphanages in Shan State, Myanmar. A total of 277
middle school students recruited from 18 orphanages
via systematic sampling participated in the study by
voluntarily responding to the study’s questionnaire.
Path analysis indicated that for the double orphans in
the study, only their reported level of self-efficacy were
found to have a direct influence on their academic
performance. The findings yielded no significant
indirect influences, being mediated by the variables of
problem-focused and emotion-focused coping style,
for the three exogenous predictor variables of social
support, self-esteem, and self-efficacy on the
respondents’ academic performance. The study’s
findings were discussed in terms of the implications
they hold for how double orphans in Myanmar cope
with stressors they encounter in their lives.
