q1 i? The article theoretically predicts that negative social and dimensional comparison effects should be largely or completely truncated in relatively pure measures of self-efficacy. → Marsh 2019

Evidence¶

Marsh 2019¶

Marsh, H. W., Pekrun, R., Parker, P. D., Murayama, K., Guo, J., Dicke, T. and Arens, A. K. (2019). The murky distinction between self-concept and self-efficacy: beware of lurking jingle-jangle fallacies. Journal of Educational Psychology, 111 (2). pp. 331-353. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000281

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

Theoretical argument in the introduction, not a tested result in the supplied text: because pure self-efficacy items 'provide respondents with a specific description of the required referent against which to judge their competence', comparison effects should be attenuated. No effect size is printed.

"we posit that these negative frame-of-reference effects should be largely or completely truncated in relatively pure measures of self-efficacy"

• Dimensional comparisons: achievement–self-concept paths are positive in similar subjects but negative in dissimilar subjects — related
• Generalized math self-efficacy items function like self-concept items because they omit an explicit performance criterion — related
• Achievement shows positive within-domain and negative cross-domain effects on academic self-concept and value, replicating dimensional comparison theory — related
• Within-subject achievement effects in the classic I/E model confound social and dimensional comparisons; using the math–verbal achievement difference as predictor isolates each comparison type — related
