The influence of socioeconomic status, working memory and academic self-concept on academic achievement

Abstract: There is today ample evidence that academic achievement depends on individual disparities in socioeconomic status (SES), working memory (WM) and academic self-concept (ASC). However, because these factors were investigated intensively but in separate fields of research in the past four to six decades, their relationships remain largely unknown. The present study investigated whether SES, WM and ASC interact with each other or represent independent contributions to academic achievement in 2379 adolescents in mi… Show more

“…Overall, as the test contains 27 sentences and each question is valued equally, each subject's score in both processing and storage is calculated out of 27, and the active memory score of each subject is derived from the average of the two scores, expressed as a percentage (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980). The validity and reliability of this test have been approved in many studies (Chevalère et al, 2023;Taghizadeh et al, 2018).…”

“…Letourneau and colleagues (2013) and Korous and Causadias (2022) have come to conclusion that family SES has a small but significant impact on child's development when excluding a combination of such factors as individual, family or community. Meanwhile, the number of studies that describe family SES relationships with child's academic self-beliefs in particular are significantly lower, some of them are conducted recently (OECD, 2015;Chevalere et al, 2022) but some are fairly old (Trowbridge, 1972). The findings of these two studies contradict each other; however, both emphasize the necessity to do more research as the relationship between SES and self-beliefs are not yet unambiguously explained.…”

“…The scholastic development of secondary-level school students worldwide is significantly influenced by their self-concept (Chevalère et al, 2023;Wahab et al, 2023). Since their self-concept is more academically focused, students will perform better in their educational experiences (González-Nuevo et al, 2023;Yang et al, 2023).…”
