(3)Planning and optimism in educational domain had significantly positive effect on Migrant children's behavioral engagement,while external attribution in educational domain and planning in vocational domain had significantly negative effect on it.Planning,goals and optimism in educational domain and internal attribution in vocational domain were the significantly positive predictors for Migrant children's psychological engagement.
