Subclaims¶

q2 i2 Age yields a significant negative relationship with total self-concept score (r = -.23, p = .01), with older children having lower scores. → Houck 2011 q2 i? In the four-predictor regression, age uniquely predicted self-concept (β = -.19, t = -2.34, p < .05) after accounting for gender and behavior problems; the overall equation was significant (F(4, 145) = 5.96, p = .001), predicting 15% of variability. → Houck 2011 (2)

Evidence¶

Houck 2011¶

Houck, G., Kendall, J., Miller, A., Morrell, P., & Wiebe, G. (2011). Self-concept in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 26(3), 239-247. doi:10.1016/j.pedn.2010.02.004

q2 · i2 · associational · r?

Correlation analysis in the descriptive correlational study of 145 children with ADHD aged 6-18. Age was not correlated with internalizing, externalizing, or total behavior problem scores but was negatively related to self-concept.

"age yielded a significant negative relationship with the total self-concept score (r = −.23, p = .01), with older children having lower self-concept scores."

Houck 2011 (2)¶

Houck, G., Kendall, J., Miller, A., Morrell, P., & Wiebe, G. (2011). Self-concept in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 26(3), 239-247. doi:10.1016/j.pedn.2010.02.004

q2 · i? · associational · r?

Multiple regression of self-concept on gender, age, and internalizing and externalizing behavior problem scores. Two predictors uniquely contributed: age (β = -.19, p < .05) and internalizing problems (β = -.36, p < .01).

"The overall regression equation was significant, F (4, 145) = 5.96, p = .001. Altogether, 15% (12% adjusted) of the variability in self concept scores was predicted by knowing the scores on the four predictor variables."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Age and Developmental Stage — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
