Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Grades showed strong positive within-domain paths to self-concept (math β = 0.85; German β = 0.75) and negative cross-domain effects on self-concept and value in the other domain. → Jansen 2020

q3 · i3 · associational · r2
SEM path analysis of the longitudinal sample (N = 519) testing the I/E pattern. The article reports "strong positive within-domain paths from grades to self-concept" with math β = 0.85 and German β = 0.75, plus negative cross-domain effects on self-concept and value for three of four paths.
"As expected, we found strong positive within-domain paths from grades to self-concept (math: β = 0.85, p < .01; German: β = 0.75, p < .01; see Table 3, Model 1) and value."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Dimensional comparisons: achievement–self-concept paths are positive in similar subjects but negative in dissimilar subjects — a broader claim this one bears on
- Dimensional comparison effects extend to subjective task values, with contrast effects strongest for intrinsic value and costs and lowest for utility value, often mediated by self-concept — related
- Grades show mediated dimensional comparison effects on course choices via self-concept and value — related
- Subject similarity moderates dimensional comparison effects: far comparisons (e.g., math vs. verbal) yield strong contrast effects, near comparisons yield weaker contrast or assimilation effects — a broader claim this one bears on
- Negative frame-of-reference effects are hypothesized to be truncated in pure self-efficacy measures relative to self-concept measures — related
