Abstract

In the critical period of adolescent psychological development, learning anxiety is becoming more and more common in junior high school, which is closely related to academic pressure, peer competition and self-consciousness development. As the core interaction in school ecology, teacher-student relationship significantly affects students’ psychological adaptation and academic development. The research shows that positive teacher-student relationship can effectively alleviate learning anxiety, improve self-efficacy and learning engagement through supportive interaction and respect for students’ autonomy. Negative relationships tend to aggravate anxiety and form a negative cycle. In addition, the process is also regulated by factors such as individual traits, home-school collaboration, and social anxiety transmission. The existing research has not paid enough attention to the particularity of junior high school students, and the mechanism is not yet in-depth. By systematically combing the literature, this paper is committed to filling the relevant gaps and providing theoretical and practical reference for the construction of positive teacher-student relationship and the intervention of learning anxiety.
