Abstract

Abstract:This study investigated longitudinal associations between mathematics- and literacy-related causal attributions and self-concepts of ability among Finnish adolescents (N = 237). Questionnaires were administered to adolescents in Grades 7 and 9 to obtain information on their causal attributions and self-concepts of ability. The results showed that adolescents attributed their successes and failures in a self-consistent way. Specifically, self-concepts of ability predicted subsequent causal attributions in both school subjects. In mathematics, a higher self-concept of ability contributed to more self-enhancing and self-protective attributions. However, in both school subjects, a lower self-concept of ability contributed to more maladaptive attributions.

青少年特定领域能力自我概念对特定领域因果归因的预测:一项纵向研究

摘要:本研究调查了芬兰青少年数学和读写能力相关的因果归因与能力自我概念之间的纵向关系。采用问卷调查法对七年级和九年级的青少年进行调查，了解其能力的因果归因和自我概念。结果表明，青少年以一种自我一致的方式来解释他们的成功和失败。具体来说，能力的自我概念预测了两个学校被试随后的因果归因。在数学中，较高的自我能力概念有助于更多的自我增强和自我保护归因。然而，在两个学校被试中，较低的能力自我概念导致了更多的适应不良归因。
