Abstract | Predictive validities were comparatively evaluated for a direct (SCAAS) and an indirect (ISCS) measure of academic self-confidence. Both instruments significantly predicted a variety of criteria for ninth-grade males (N=55). Predictions for females (N=44) were generally lower than for males, and the indirect measure was ineffective. The two measures were found to share roughly 36% common variance, attenuated to 77% for males and 58% for females. The direct measure generally predicted better than the indirect measure on standardized ability tests. These results reversed those found using college males, but corresponded to results for college females. (Author) |
