Abstract | Academic self-concept is a person’s evaluative self-beliefs of their academic ability. It is an important outcome in its own right and positively predicts other crucial educational constructs such as achievement, course selection, persistence, and long-term attainment. Numerous research studies have shown that self-concept is formed through dimensional, social, and temporal social comparison processes. These processes map on to the internal/external frame-of-reference model, the big-fish-little-pond effect, and the reciprocal effects model, respectively. The current chapter outlines the three-faceted model of psychological comparison (3FPC) processes that integrate all three models. While the three independent models provide useful information, the unified 3FPC allows for a host of new theoretical predictions based on different combinations of the three psychological comparison processes. The authors describe these combinations and discuss how they may be useful in driving educational policy and practice. |
