The review's overall synthesis of Research Question 2 reports that "AHS was frequently associated with academic achievement, self-regulation, and self-efficacy", while explicitly noting these associations were not consistent across the included studies.

"Findings indicate substantial heterogeneity in measurement approaches, and AHS was frequently associated with academic achievement, self-regulation, and self-efficacy, although these associations were not consistent across studies."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Self-Efficacy — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• AHS is frequently positively associated with academic performance among preservice teachers, but one study found a negative association explained by help-abuse — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Studies of preservice teachers found no statistically significant associations between gender or other sociodemographic variables and AHS — related
