The review reports Huang's meta-analysis of "data from 39 independent samples", which found "average correlations ranging from r = .20 to .27" in one direction and r = .19 to .25 in the other, interpreted as reciprocal relationships.

"The study reported average correlations ranging from r = .20 to .27 between prior self-concept and later achievement and correlations ranging from r = .19 to .25 between prior achievement and subsequent self-concept, all of which were interpreted as evidence of reciprocal relationships."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• Meta-analyses show prior academic self-concept predicts subsequent achievement, controlling prior achievement — a broader claim this one bears on
• A meta-analysis of 68 longitudinal studies found prior achievement predicted subsequent self-concept and prior self-concept predicted subsequent achievement — related
• Self-efficacy correlates positively with subsequent motivation and performance across cognitive and sport domains — related
• STARTS model shows a positive effect of prior achievement on subsequent self-concept but no effect of prior self-concept on subsequent achievement — related
