Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arens, A. Katrin; Morin, Alexandre J. S. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
This study is a substantive-methodological synergy in which exploratory structural equation modeling is applied to investigate the factor structure of multidimensional self-concept instruments. On the basis of a sample of German students (N = 1958) who completed the Self-Description Questionnaire I and the Self-Perception Profile for Children, the…

Dai, David Yun; Rinn, Anne N.; Tan, Xiaoyuan – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2013
The purposes of this study were to (a) examine the presence and prevalence of the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) in summer programs for the gifted, (b) identify group and individual difference variables that help predict those who are more susceptible to the BFLPE, and (c) put the possible BFLPE on academic self-concept in a larger context of…

The Twofold Multidimensionality of Academic Self-Concept: Domain Specificity and Separation between Competence and Affect Components
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arens, A. Katrin; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing; Craven, Rhonda G.; Hasselhorn, Marcus – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Academic self-concept is consistently proven to be multidimensional rather than unidimensional as it is domain specific in nature. However, each specific self-concept domain may be further separated into competence and affect components. This study examines the twofold multidimensionality of academic self-concept (i.e., its domain specificity and…

Bodkin-Andrews, Gawaian H.; Ha, My Trinh; Craven, Rhonda G.; Yeung, Alexander Seesing – International Journal of Testing, 2010
This investigation reports on the cross-cultural equivalence testing of the Self-Description Questionnaire II (short version; SDQII-S) for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian secondary student samples. A variety of statistical analysis techniques were employed to assess the psychometric properties of the SDQII-S for both the Indigenous and…

Byrne, Barbara M. – 1988
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA; LISREL) was used to: (1) validate the Self Description Questionnaire III (SDQ III) subscales measuring general, school, English, and mathematics self-concepts for a sample of 898 (285 low track and 613 high track) students in grades 11 and 12, and (2) test the equivalency of the factor structure across academic…
