Abstract: The present study investigated the relationship between school climate and junior middle school students'academic achievement,and was to explore the mediating effect of academic emotions as well as the moderating effect of future orientation.The school climate questionnaire,academic emotions questionnaire,future orientation scale,and academic achievement questionnaire were administered to 1243 junior middle school students (51% female) from two junior middle schools.Results were as follows:(1) after controlling for gender,grade,and SES,school climate could positively predict junior middle school students'academic achievement.(2) school climate influenced junior middle school students'academic achievement directly and indirectly through the positive low arousal and negative low arousal academic emotions.(3) future orientation moderated the mediation models:school climate-positive low arousal/negative low arousal academic emotions-academic achievement.Moreover,future orientation moderated the relationship between school climate and positive low arousal academic emotions,such that this indirect effect was much stronger for junior middle school students with high future orientation.While future orientation moderated the relationship between negative low arousal academic emotions and academic achievement,such that this indirect effect was much stronger for junior middle school students with low future orientation.

Key words: junior middle school students, school climate, academic achievement, academic emotions, future orientation
