The Assessment of Hope, Self-Esteem, Positive Outlook to Academic Success of Senior High School Students: Basis for Mental Health Intervention Program

This study sought to assess the Hope, Self-esteem, and Positive Outlook of the students. This study identified the demographic profile of the respondents; hope; self-esteem; positive outlook; academic success; and the significant correlation of hope, self-esteem, and positive outlook of the respondents. A descriptive correlational research design was used in this study. This method described the hope, self-esteem, positive outlook, and academic achievement of the students and the relationship between them. This study was conducted in nine (9) Public Secondary Schools in Lopez West District. The respondents of the study are Senior High School Students. The researcher utilized the 3 Adult Hope Scale, Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale, Revised-Life Orientation Test, and the Research Made Questionnaire. The results show that the indicators of hope were mostly true to them; they disagree with the indicators of self-esteem; and agree with the positive outlook. In terms of the academic success of the respondents, they agreed that they acquired the desired skills and competencies and were satisfied with their learning experiences. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between hope and academic success and a positive outlook and academic success. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between self-esteem and academic success. Therefore, the implementation of the Mental Health Intervention Program is needed to address mental health needs at the same time monitor the academic success of the respondents.
