Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

17.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Resilience is a key psychological trait for overcoming adversity.
  • Academic resilience specifically relates to achieving educational success despite challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new multidimensional construct measure of academic resilience.
  • To assess adaptive cognitive-affective and behavioral responses to academic adversity.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the 30-item Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30).
  • Validation study with 532 undergraduate students.
  • Analysis of internal reliability and construct validity.

Main Results:

  • The ARS-30 demonstrated good internal reliability.
  • The ARS-30 showed strong construct validity.
  • The scale effectively measures process-aspects of academic resilience.

Conclusions:

  • The ARS-30 is a valid and reliable measure of academic resilience.
  • The scale aligns with conceptualizations of resilience based on adaptive responses.
  • The ARS-30 is relevant for research and practice in university settings.
