Why Multicollinearity Matters: A Reexamination of Relations Between Self-Efficacy, Self-Concept, and Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Marsh, Herbert W.; Dowson, Martin; Pietsch, James; Walker, Richard – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
Multicollinearity is a well-known general problem, but it also seriously threatens valid interpretations in structural equation models. Illustrating this problem, J. Pietsch, R. Walker, and E. Chapman (2003) found paths leading to achievement were apparently much larger for self-efficacy (.55) than self-concept (-.05), suggesting--erroneously, as…

Marsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
Using 559 fifth graders, measures were collected to assess multiple dimensions of academic self-attribution, self-concept, and inferred self-concept, and academic achievement. The specificity and predictability of the observed patterns of relations support the construct validity of interpretations based on both the self-attribution and…

Extending research on the Marsh/Shavelson model of self-concept, a set of 14 academic self-concept scales was related to school performance in 8 school subjects for a sample of 507 high school students. Correlations between matching areas of self-concept and achievement (0.45 to 0.70; mean r=.57) were substantial and larger than correlations…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Marsh, Herbert W. – 1984
This investigation examines empirical support for the internal/external (I/E) frame of reference model which describes the relationships between verbal and math self-concepts, and between these academic self-concepts and verbal and math achievement. The empirical tests are based on all studies (n=6,010; ages 7 to 35 years) that have employed any…

The Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect on Academic Self-Concept.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Marsh, Herbert W. – 1986
Marsh and Parker (1984) described the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) whereby equally able students have lower academic self-concepts in high-ability schools than in low-ability schools. The present investigation, a reanalysis of the Youth in Transition data, supported the generality of the earlier findings and demonstrated new theoretical…
