Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the causal relationships between social emotional competence (SEC) , mindfulness, academic help seeking (AHS) and achievement motivation through a proposed causal modeling based on cognitive principles using path analysis to explain achievement motivation. The study sample consisted of 384 Arab students in Haifa. For the purposes of the study, a set of tools were used including SEC Scale by Zhou and Ee (2012) , scale of mindfulness by Baer et al. (2006) , translated by Abu Hassan (2019) , AHS Scale developed by Abu Ghazal (2013), achievement motivation scale based on the study of Othman et al. (2014). The results extracted the best model that achieved a good fit with the suggested model, which included direct positive effects that were statistically significant at the level 0. 01 for social awareness, relationship skills and self- awareness domains on AHS. And for self- management,
self- awareness domains and AHS on mindfulness. In addition to AHS, mindfulness on achievement motivation. There are statistically significant indirect effects for social awareness, relationship skills, and self- awareness on mindfulness, in addition to social awareness, self- management, relationship skills, self- awareness, and AHS on achievement motivation.
