q3 · i? · review · r1

Narrative review of BFLPE evidence including the multinational PISA 2000 study of approximately 4,000 15-year-olds from each of 26 countries (N=103,558). The review reports the effect "generalized across collectivist and individualist cultures and across economically developing and developed nations."

"demonstrated that the BFLPE generalized across collectivist and individualist cultures and across economically developing and developed nations"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Equally able students have lower academic self-concepts in high-average-ability schools (the BFLPE), with a cross-national effect size of 0.49 — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The BFLPE is domain-specific: school-average achievement affects academic self-concept but not global self-esteem or non-academic self-concept — related
• Reanalyses of SCT choice-paradigm studies support the BFLPE, which was not moderated by students' chosen comparison targets — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Virtual patient effectiveness evidence comes from both high-income and low- and middle-income countries — related
• Class-average achievement and chosen upward comparisons each make substantial, unique negative contributions to math self-beliefs when modeled simultaneously — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The BFLPE is one of the most robust findings in educational psychology, with negative school-average achievement effects on ASC in 181 of 191 PISA samples — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
