Malamut, Sarah T.; Garandeau, Claire F.; Badaly, Daryaneh; Duong, Mylien; Schwartz, David – Developmental Psychology, 2022
In adolescence, being rejected by one's peers is positively associated with aggression. However, whether self-perceptions of being rejected or accepted by peers, and biases in these perceptions, are linked to aggression remains unclear, as the literature points to 2 perspectives: Youth are more likely to be aggressive when they (a) know or believe…

Minna Torppa; Tuija Aro; Kenneth Eklund; Rauno Parrila; Anna-Kaija Eloranta; Timo Ahonen – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study examines longitudinal associations among reading skills, math skills and emotional well-being in a Finnish sample (n = 586) followed from the end of comprehensive school (Grade 9, age 15-16) to age 20. In particular, we determine whether the associations between skills and well-being are mediated by self-concept beliefs. In Grade 9, the…

Hausen, Jennifer E.; Möller, Jens; Greiff, Samuel; Niepel, Christoph – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
A positive academic self-concept (ASC) relates to many desirable educational outcomes. Research on which student characteristics relate to the formation of ASC is therefore crucial. To examine the importance of personality for ASC, we investigated the relation between Big Five traits and mean level as well as within-person variability in state…

Ersie-Anastasia Gentzis; Dante D. Dixson – School Psychology Review, 2024
The research literature indicates that school climate is important for student outcomes; however, research assessing school climate and achievement-related outcomes across time is limited. In this study, the relationship between school climate, students' psychosocial perceptions, and student achievement was examined across an academic school year…

Choi, Jungtae; Kim, Kihyun – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2022
Background: Despite extensive research examining features of adolescents' ego-identity development, little research has demonstrated patterns of ego-identity development and its relationship with various individual and environmental factors that are theoretically important for identity development. Objective: The current study investigated…

Nelson, R. Brett; Hemmy Asamsama, Octaviana; Jimerson, Shane R.; Lam, Shui-fong – Journal of Educational Research and Innovation, 2020
School engagement has been identified as an important construct associated with student achievement, school completion, and more recently, student well-being. The present study included data from 200 ninth grade students of diverse ethnic groups (African American, Hispanic, & White) to explore dimensions of student wellness and their…

Locher, Franziska Maria; Becker, Sarah; Schiefer, Irene; Pfost, Maximilian – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Reading self-concept is an important predictor of reading comprehension and vice versa. However, the mechanisms that are at work in this relation have yet to be identified. In line with the self-enhancement approach, we propose that in the reading domain, amount of reading, book choice (text difficulty and book length), and intrinsic reading…

Burger, Andri; Naudé, Luzelle – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2019
The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of academic success of South African students. The study focused on 164 first to fourth year students. The extent to which students' grade 12 performance, the type of high school they attended and their academic self-concepts contributed to their academic success during the entry and…

Holenstein, Mathias; Bruckmaier, Georg; Grob, Alexander – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Mathematical literacy (ML) is considered central to the application of mathematical knowledge in everyday life and thus is found in many comparative international educational standards. However, there exists barely any evidence about predictors and outcomes of ML having a lasting effect on achievement in nonmathematical domains. We drew on a large…

Sánchez, Bernadette; Anderson, Amy J.; Carter, Jocelyn Smith; Mroczkowski, Alison L.; Monjaras-Gaytan, Lidia Y.; DuBois, David L. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This research investigated the potential contributions of natural mentoring relationships and ethnic identity to the academic attitudes and performance of Latinx high school students. In a sample of 347 urban Latinx students in grades 9 and 10, analyses examined the presence and quality of mentoring relationships as well as ethnic identity…

Dysgraphia, a specific learning disability, impairs legible and automatic letter production by hand, which can interfere with written composing. The goal of the current study was not to investigate effective methods for teaching self-regulated writing to students with dysgraphia, but rather to investigate their self that is involved in their…

Samuels, William Ellery; Tournaki, Nelly; Sacks, Stanley; Sacks, JoAnn; Blackman, Sheldon; Byalin, Kenneth; Zilinski, Christopher – European Educational Researcher, 2019
Executive functions (EFs) show promise as important mediators of adolescent academic performance. However, the expense of measuring EFs accurately has restricted most field-based research on them to smaller, non-longitudinal studies of homogeneous populations with specific diagnoses. We therefore monitored the development of 259 diverse, at-risk…
