The obtained results were analyzed using AMOS software and path analysis method.
Findings: The results showed that emotional adjustment and successful intelligence mediated by psychological well-being predict positively and significantly (p <0.01) self-regulation of learning.
Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, it can be suggested that the higher the successful intelligence and emotional adjustment, the direct and mediated psychological well-being have a positive and significant effect on promoting learning self-regulation. Therefore, parents and educational authorities to strengthen academic self-regulation should provide rich environments to strengthen these three components.
