Sommet, Nicolas; Elliot, Andrew J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
In the present research, we proposed a systematic approach to disentangling the shared and unique variance explained by achievement goals, reasons for goal pursuit, and specific goal-reason combinations (i.e., achievement goal complexes). Four studies using this approach (involving nearly 1,800 participants) led to 3 basic sets of findings. First,…

Muenks, Katherine; Wigfield, Allan; Yang, Ji Seung; O'Neal, Colleen R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, and Kelly (2007) defined "grit" as one's passion and perseverance toward long-term goals. They proposed that it consists of 2 components: consistency of interests and perseverance of effort. In a high school and college student sample, we used a multidimensional item response theory approach to examine (a)…

Hübner, Nicolas; Wille, Eike; Cambria, Jenna; Oschatz, Kerstin; Nagengast, Benjamin; Trautwein, Ulrich – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Math achievement, math self-concept, and vocational interests are critical predictors of STEM careers and are closely linked to high school coursework. Young women are less likely to choose advanced math courses in high school, and encouraging young women to enroll in advanced math courses may therefore bring more women into STEM careers. We…

Stull, Andrew T.; Hegarty, Mary – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
This study investigated the development of representational competence among organic chemistry students by using 3D (concrete and virtual) models as aids for teaching students to translate between multiple 2D diagrams. In 2 experiments, students translated between different diagrams of molecules and received verbal feedback in 1 of the following 3…

De Castella, Krista; Byrne, Don; Covington, Martin – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
A classic distinction in the literature on achievement and motivation is between fear of failure and success orientations. From the perspective of self-worth theory, these motives are not bipolar constructs but dimensions that interact in ways that make some students particularly vulnerable to underachievement and disengagement from school. The…

Steffens, Melanie C.; Jelenec, Petra; Noack, Peter – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2010
Many models assume that habitual human behavior is guided by spontaneous, automatic, or implicit processes rather than by deliberate, rule-based, or explicit processes. Thus, math-ability self-concepts and math performance could be related to implicit math-gender stereotypes in addition to explicit stereotypes. Two studies assessed at what age…

Espinoza, Guadalupe; Juvonen, Jaana – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
The current study was designed to examine the ways in which perceived behavioral norms among grade mates and school social climate vary across the transition to middle school. The main goals of the study were to test whether Latino students may be more sensitive to the school social climate than White students and whether perceived behavioral…

Pekrun, Reinhard; Elliot, Andrew J.; Maier, Markus A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009
The authors propose a theoretical model linking achievement goals and achievement emotions to academic performance. This model was tested in a prospective study with undergraduates (N = 213), using exam-specific assessments of both goals and emotions as predictors of exam performance in an introductory-level psychology course. The findings were…

Marques, Todd E.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Faculty and students rated profiles of 100 hypothetical instructors. Findings suggest that valid systems of instructional evaluation should focus on amount of information, arousal of student interest, presentation style, and general knowledge of the field. The relative importance of content to style dimensions was slightly greater for faculty…

Wilhite, Stephen C. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
A stepwise multiple regression analysis of final course grades of 184 psychology students revealed that scores on a self-assessment of memory ability were the best predictors of final course grades, followed by locus of control, and scores on the Self-Concept of Academic Ability Test. (SLD)
