Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Value and belonging each had direct positive relations to mastery, and significant indirect effects through SRL (.14 for both) indicated partial mediation. → Jamaal S. Matthews 2014

Jamaal S. Matthews 2014¶
Jamaal S. Matthews, Meeta Banerjee, Fani Lauermann. (2014). Academic Identity Formation and Motivation Among Ethnic Minority Adolescents: The Role of the “Self” Between Internal and External Perceptions of Identity. Child Development. https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12318
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Path analysis of cross-sectional survey data from 600 adolescents in seven Harlem and South Bronx schools, with bias-corrected bootstrap CIs (5,000 iterations). Direct effects were value c1 = .40 and belonging c2 = .25, and "significant indirect effects confirmed that SRL functions as a mediator" with h1 = h2 = .14, p < .001; predictors explained 42% of mastery variance.
"SRL partially mediated the relation between the two identity dimensions and mastery orientation. Specifically, value ( c1 = .40, p<. 001) and belonging (c2 = .25, p<. 001) had a direct positive relation to mastery"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Achievement Goal Orientation — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Self-efficacy moderates the mediating role of SRL between school belonging and mastery, with the strongest mediation for low-efficacy students — related
- Self-efficacy did not significantly moderate the mediation of the value-to-mastery relation through SRL — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Belonging mediates the relationship between racial/ethnic identity and both academic achievement and emotional symptoms — related
- Academic emotions moderate the relationship between belonging and achievement — related
- School belonging and GPA were modestly positively correlated among Latino sixth graders (r = .20) — related
- Mastery orientation, value, belonging, self-efficacy, and SRL show small demographic differences by gender, ethnicity, and grade — related
- The attitude-achievement paradox: disadvantaged minority youth may show low achievement despite high motivation to achieve upward mobility through schooling — related
