Subclaims¶

q2 i? In Study 1, domain-specific self-concept was the only consistent motivational/personality predictor of local judgments and accuracy scores. → Marion Händel & Anique B. H. de Bruin & Markus Dresel 2020 q2 i? In Study 2, higher domain-specific self-concept predicted more overconfident postdictions. → Marion Händel & Anique B. H. de Bruin & Markus Dresel 2020 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Study 1 hierarchical regressions of local judgments, bias, sensitivity, and specificity in the mathematics test. The article reports "the only consistent predictor for judgments and metacognitive judgment accuracy was domain-specific self-concept", with higher self-concept linked to higher judgments, bias, and sensitivity but lower specificity.

"Among the investigated motivational and personality scales, the only consistent predictor for judgments and metacognitive judgment accuracy was domain-specific self-concept. The higher the self-concept, the higher the judgments, the bias, and the sensitivity, but thelower the specificity."

Study 2 regression on postdiction bias in the psychology exam. The article reports "domain-specific self-concept was the strongest predictor: with higher self-concept, students were more overconfident in their postdiction."

"Again, domain-specific self-concept was the strongest predictor: with higher self-concept, students were more overconfident in their postdiction."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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