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? Cross-lagged relations among academic self-concept, intrinsic value, and attainment value in the three domains did not change in size across students' secondary school years. → Arens 2019

Longitudinal relations among self-concept, intrinsic value, and attainment value across secondary school years in three academic domains.

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Analyses across 5 annual measurement waves covering Grades 5 to 9 with German secondary school students (N = 2,116) showed the cross-lagged relations "did not change in size across students' secondary school years."

"The relations among academic self-concept, intrinsic value, and attainment value in the 3 domains did not change in size across students' secondary school years."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Cross-lagged relations among value constructs vary by academic domain, indicating domain specificity of motivational temporal relations — related
Cross-lagged relations among self-concept and value constructs remain stable when controlling for domain-specific achievement measured by school grades — related
In math and English, students' prior academic self-concept positively predicts their later intrinsic value and attainment value across secondary school — related
In German, students' prior intrinsic value and attainment value positively predict their later academic self-concept — related
Expectancy-value theory research previously neglected value-facet differentiation, long time spans with multiple waves, and domain-specific patterns — related
