Subclaims¶

q3 i? Fluid intelligence, measured by the PMA-R, was not a significant predictor of GPA in correlations or regressions. → Juan-Carlos Pérez-González 2022

Evidence¶

Juan-Carlos Pérez-González 2022¶

Juan-Carlos Pérez-González, Gemma Filella, Anna Soldevila, Yasmine Faiad, Maria-Jose Sanchez-Ruiz. (2022). Integrating self-regulated learning and individual differences in the prediction of university academic achievement across a three-year-long degree.

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Null finding across the correlation and regression analyses in the study; the correlation table shows inductive reasoning correlations with yearly GPA between −0.10 and −0.08, and non-significant regression coefficients. No effect size is printed, so no magnitude is claimed.

"Surprisingly, contrary to most of the previous investigations into individual differences, cognitive ability displayed no significant association with AP in any of the analyses."

• Trait emotional intelligence showed no significant association with university GPA, despite correlating with engagement, SRL strategies and self-efficacy
• A reduced set of non-cognitive factors alone explains 17–25% of the variance in university GPA across three years of a degree — related
• Academic engagement and regulation of behavior and context show incremental validity over cognitive predictors of university GPA — related
