Morell, Monica; Yang, Ji Seung; Gladstone, Jessica R.; Turci Faust, Lara; Ponnock, Annette R.; Lim, Hyo Jin; Wigfield, Allan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
"Grit" is defined as passion and perseverance for achieving long-term goals and consists of two proposed subcomponents: consistency of interests and perseverance of effort. It has become a much-discussed construct even though research on its underlying factor structure has produced inconclusive results. Furthermore, grit as measured by…

Self-Determination Theory Applied to Physical Education: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Vasconcellos, Diego; Parker, Philip D.; Hilland, Toni; Cinelli, Renata; Owen, Katherine B.; Kapsal, Nathanial; Lee, Jane; Antczak, Devan; Ntoumanis, Nikos; Ryan, Richard M.; Lonsdale, Chris – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
In this review we examine the evidence regarding self-determination theory within the school physical education context. We applied a multilevel structural equation modeling approach to meta-analyze data from a systematic review that identified 265 relevant studies. In line with theory, autonomous motivation was positively correlated with adaptive…

The Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect: Generalizability of Social Comparison Processes over Two Age Cohorts from Western, Asian, and Middle Eastern Islamic Countries
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Marsh, Herbert W.; Abduljabbar, Adel Salah; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Parker, Philip; Abdelfattah, Faisal; Nagengast, Benjamin; Abu-Hilal, Maher M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
Extensive support for the seemingly paradoxical negative effects of school- and class-average achievement on academic self-concept (ASC)-the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE)--is based largely on secondary students in Western countries or on cross-cultural Program for International Student Assessment studies. There is little research testing the…

Text Comprehension Mediates Morphological Awareness, Syntactic Processing, and Working Memory in Predicting Chinese Written Composition Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Guan, Connie Qun; Ye, Feifei; Wagner, Richard K.; Meng, Wanjin; Leong, Che Kan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
The goal of the present study was to test opposing views about 4 issues concerning predictors of individual differences in Chinese written composition: (a) whether morphological awareness, syntactic processing, and working memory represent distinct and measureable constructs in Chinese or are just manifestations of general language ability; (b)…

Construct Validity of the Multidimensional Structure of Bullying and Victimization: An Application of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Marsh, Herbert W.; Nagengast, Benjamin; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Parada, Roberto H.; Craven, Rhonda G.; Hamilton, Linda R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Existing research posits multiple dimensions of bullying and victimization but has not identified well-differentiated facets of these constructs that meet standards of good measurement: goodness of fit, measurement invariance, lack of differential item functioning, and well-differentiated factors that are not so highly correlated as to detract…

School and Community Climates and Civic Commitments: Patterns for Ethnic Minority and Majority Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Flanagan, Constance A.; Cumsille, Patricio; Gill, Sukhdeep; Gallay, Leslie S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2007
The developmental correlates of diffuse support for the polity and civic commitments were explored in a survey of 1,052 students (mean age = 14.96 years) from African American, Arab American, European American, and Latino American backgrounds. Results of structural equation modeling revealed that regardless of their age, gender, or ethnic…

Children's Help-Seeking in the Classroom: The Role of Motivational Factors and Attitudes.

Newman, Richard S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
Characteristics related to help-seeking (perceived competence, motivational orientation, attitudes and beliefs, and age) were examined for 177 children in grades 3, 5, and 7. By grade seven, positive and negative attitudes were influential. Developmental and individual difference factors are discussed in connection with help-seeking and academic…
