Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates adolescents’ persistent academic possible selves (PAPS), academic self-concept, self-regulation, and achievement in a longitudinal and interactive context (N = 113). The PAPS incorporates future-oriented motivation (i.e., motivation to develop academic possible selves) and future-oriented self-regulated learning (i.e., commitment to utilizing self-regulated learning to achieve those selves). By administering three surveys, I found that adolescents’ PAPS grow over the semester, but the growth did not directly relate to achievement. Additionally, their academic self-concept and self-regulation at the beginning of the semester functioned differently to predict the growth of PAPS. Lastly, PAPS promoted future achievement only when it is mediated by current self-regulation. The mediation effect was robust regardless of the level of academic self-concept and past achievement.
期刊介绍:
Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
