Lavrijsen, Jeroen; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Boncquet, Michiel; Verschueren, Karine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
While bivariate associations between motivation and academic achievement have been soundly established, only a few studies have documented evidence for its incremental predictive role above and beyond other student features related to student achievement, such as intelligence and personality. Moreover, it is not yet clear which motivational…

Geary, David C.; Hoard, Mary K.; Nugent, Lara; Scofield, John E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Identifying meaningful cognitive and noncognitive predictors of mathematical competence is critical for developing targeted interventions for students struggling with mathematics. Here, 317 students' short-term verbal memory, verbal and visuospatial working memory, complexspatial abilities, intelligence, and mathematics attitudes and anxiety were…

Blankson, A. Nayena; Gudmundson, Jessica A.; Kondeh, Memuna – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Three aspects of cognition (fluid intelligence, executive functioning, and crystallized intelligence) in pre-K were examined as predictors of math and reading achievement in kindergarten among an economically diverse sample of 198 African American children. From a variable-centered perspective, confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the three…

Lauermann, Fani; Meißner, Anja; Steinmayr, Ricarda – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Students' intelligence and self-concept of ability are critical predictors of school achievement. However, studies focusing on the relative importance of both achievement predictors have produced mixed results. To clarify these inconsistencies, the present study investigated whether the relative predictive power of students' intelligence and…

Gut, Janine; Reimann, Giselle; Grob, Alexander – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Several studies show that parents' and teachers' perceptions of children's academic competence are important predictors of children's subsequent academic performance. However, there is a lack of evidence on what precedes these perceptions as well as the dynamics within a comprehensive model. The aim of this study was to investigate the…

Park, Daeun; Gunderson, Elizabeth A.; Tsukayama, Eli; Levine, Susan C.; Beilock, Sian L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Although students' motivational frameworks (entity vs. incremental) have been linked to academic achievement, little is known about how early this link emerges and how motivational frameworks develop in the first place. In a year-long study (student N = 424, Teacher N = 58), we found that, as early as 1st and 2nd grade, children who endorsed an…

Martin, Andrew J.; Nejad, Harry G.; Colmar, Susan; Liem, Gregory Arief D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Adaptability is defined as appropriate cognitive, behavioral, and/or affective adjustment in the face of uncertainty and novelty. Building on prior measurement work demonstrating the psychometric properties of an adaptability construct, the present study investigates dispositional predictors (personality, implicit theories) of adaptability, and…

Ackerman, Phillip L.; Beier, Margaret E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
The ability (fluid and crystallized intelligence) and nonability (personality, interests, self-concept, etc.) determinants of domain knowledge before and after an independent learning opportunity were evaluated in the context of a study of 141 adults between the ages of 18 and 69. The domain knowledge under consideration included an array of…

Humphreys, Lloyd G. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Kirby and Das (EJ 182 444) dichotomized measures of individual differences and treated them as independent variables in an analysis of variance. Correlational analysis would have provided more powerful tests of their hypotheses. Interpretation of the dichotomized variables as independent, causal antecedents of their measures of intelligence would…

Labouvie, Gisela V.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1973
Intelligence variables were found to be good predictors of recall performance at later stages of acquisition under delayed recall, while under immediate recall, memory variables predicted recall performance best at early stages of acquisition. (Authors)

Hoffman, David A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
The relationship between intelligence, field dependence, leadership, and self-concept was studied in 88 sixth grade boys. Field independence, as measured by the Group Embedded Figures Test, was related to intelligence and self-concept. Analytic subjects exhibited more leadership than global subjects, while IQ did not differentiate subjects on any…

Keating, Daniel P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Three measures of academic intelligence and three measures of social intelligence were investigated in a group of college students. In the social domain, intradomain correlations were no higher than interdomain, factor analyses produced no identifiable social factor, and academic measures were better at predicting a social competence criterion…

Perry, Joseph D.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Multiple regression analyses were conducted using kindergarten intellectual, academic, and social variables to predict third-grade classroom behavior and achievement. Results indicate that kindergarten social and academic competencies were optimal predictors of later achievement-related behaviors and achievement. A social competence measure of…

Stipek, Deborah; Gralinski, J. Heidi – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1996
Associations among children's beliefs about intelligence and effort, goal orientations, self-reported learning strategies, and academic achievement were studied with 319 children in grades 3 through 6. Results revealed a coherent set of beliefs about intelligence and academic performance, and that beliefs are powerful predictors of achievement…
