q3 i? Academic engagement and MSLQ Factor 2 (regulation of behavior and context) remained significant predictors of GPA after cognitive predictors were added. → Juan-Carlos Pérez-González 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Authors' interpretation of the Step 2 regression results, reporting "unique incremental validity of academic engagement and regulation of behavior and context" over previous AP, inductive reasoning, and MSLQ Factor 1; in the printed tables these variables retained significant β values in Step 2 for years 1 and 3, and MSLQ Factor 2 for all three years.

"step 2 in the hierarchical regressions has revealed the unique incremental validity of academic engagement and regulation of behavior and context (MSLQ Factor 2) over and above cognitive variables such as previous AP, inductive reasoning and regulation of cognition and metacognition"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• A reduced set of non-cognitive factors alone explains 17–25% of the variance in university GPA across three years of a degree
• A latent global non-cognitive factor predicts a latent three-year GPA factor, explaining 27–29% of its variance — related
• Previous academic performance is the strongest predictor of university GPA, and adding cognitive predictors raises explained variance to about 44–50% — related
• Cognitive ability (inductive reasoning) showed no significant association with university GPA in any analysis — related
