Abstract

This research aimed to reveal the conformity of the structural model for the relationships between executive functions (EF), and mind-wandering (MW) as an intermediary variable, and learned helplessness (LH) as a dependent variable, with data of secondary school students, and investigates the relationships between the three variables and their dimensions. And identifying the differences in some demographic variables. The sample comprised (1273) students (450 male, 823 female), (mean 17.18, std-deviation 1.094). Using tools (EFs) (Prepared by/Barkley, 2012: Arabization/ the two researchers), (MW), and (LH), (Prepared /the two researchers), and using SPSS AMOS 27.
The results showed that there were no between the average scores both of gender and the residential areas in of the three research variables and their dimensions. And there were differences between the averages scores both of the majors, the Academic teams, and as students in literary majors suffer from a defect in (EF), increased (MW) and (LH). A structural model was reached that explains the direct and indirect effects of the relationship between the variables with the data of the research sample. And there is a positive correlation between (EF) dysfunction, (MW), (LH) and their dimensions. The results were discussed, and some research proposals were presented.
