Self-concept: validation of construct interpretations.

Shavelson, Richard J., Hubner, Judith J., Stanton, George C.·1976·Review of Educational Research

Abstract

El estudio se propuso determinar si la motivación al logro y el autoconcepto social permitían identificar conglomerados en estudiantes de bachillerato intelectualmente sobresalientes. Se realizó un diseño clasificatorio con una metodología cuantitativa para lo cual, mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple, se seleccionaron 133 estudiantes sobresalientes. Se identificaron dos conglomerados de estudiantes: el primero se denominó 'Altamente orientado al logro', y el segundo como 'Poco orientado al logro', respectivamente. Los estudiantes del primer conglomerado se caracterizaron por una mayor motivación al logro académico, menor autoconcepto social y mejor promedio académico. Se concluyó que en los aspectos motivacionales y emocionales los estudiantes sobresalientes presentan diferencias importantes, lo que sugiere tener cuidado con las generalizaciones realizadas sin sustento empírico. Asimismo, evidenció la importancia de la identificación de las diferencias individuales como parte de las estrategias de orientación y tutoría a estos alumnos.

  • These findings are consistent with the predictions of the Exercise and Self-Esteem Model and Shavelson's model of self-concept.

    “These findings are consistent with the predictions of the Exercise and Self-Esteem Model 30 and Shavelston's model of self-concept. 31”
  • According to theory, improvements in specific physical self-perceptions (e.g., perceived sport competence) generalize to improvements in overall physical self-concept and ultimately to enhanced self-esteem.

    “As previously described, improvements in specific physical self-perceptions (e.g., perceived sport competence) are hypothesized to generalize to improvements in overall physical self-concept and ultimately to enhanced self-esteem.”

    The supplied passages and additional search results are headed as a different article, “Perfiles de estudiantes mexicanos con aptitudes intelectuales sobresalientes”; they cite Shavelson et al. but do not provide its text. I searched for perceived sport competence, physical self-concept, and self-esteem, but the available passages do not establish the hypothesized progression between them. (LLM, conf=0.74)

  • According to theory, improvements in self-esteem should be expected in the presence of positive changes in self-perceptions or self-concept.

    “According to the theory, improvements in self-esteem should be expected in the presence of positive changes in self-perceptions or self-concept.”

    From Physical Activity for Cognitive and Mental Health in Youth: A Systematic Review of Mechanisms (2016) · cites this paper as [31]

    The indexed passages are from a Spanish-language article that cites Shavelson, Hubner, and Stanton (1976), rather than from the cited paper itself. Searches for self-esteem and positive changes in self-perceptions returned no passage establishing whether their theory predicts improved self-esteem, so the claim cannot be verified from our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
