Subclaims¶

q2 i? Prior achievement significantly predicted subsequent self-concept (β = .16) and prior self-concept predicted subsequent achievement (β = .08) after accounting for prior scores. → Hübner 2023

q2 · i? · associational · r2

The review reports a meta-analysis by Wu et al. covering "results from 68 longitudinal studies", in which "prior achievement significantly predicted subsequent self-concept (β = .16, p < .01)" after accounting for prior self-concept.

"Wu et al. (2021) conducted another more recent meta-analysis in which they considered results from 68 longitudinal studies and found that prior achievement significantly predicted subsequent self-concept (β = .16, p < .01)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• Huang's meta-analysis of 39 independent samples reported average cross-lagged correlations between self-concept and achievement of roughly .19 to .27 — related
• Meta-analyses show prior academic self-concept predicts subsequent achievement, controlling prior achievement — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• STARTS model shows a positive effect of prior achievement on subsequent self-concept but no effect of prior self-concept on subsequent achievement — reports the opposite
