Évolution du sentiment d’auto-efficacité parentale scolaire lors de la transition au secondaire: Prédicteurs et relations avec l’adaptation scolaire de l’élève
Des recherches ont montré que le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle parentale scolaire, soit la perception du parent de pouvoir soutenir la motivation et la réussite scolaire de son enfant, était lié à une meilleure adaptation de l’élève (Danis et al., 2016). Les objectifs de cette étude longitudinale sont d’examiner : 1) les trajectoires d’évolution de ce sentiment chez 618 parents durant les quatre années englobant la transition de leur enfant …
Developmental trajectories of conditional parental regard and long-term association with students’ academic functioning
To feel unconditional love and acceptance from parents is a need which fundamental character is widely recognized. This article presents the results of a longitudinal study which first objective is to identify trajectories of change in perceived parental support conditional on academic success over a 5-year period. The second objective examines whether students’ gender, mental ability, and parental education predict membership in the trajectories…
Étude longitudinale des relations entre la perception de compétence, la motivation et le rendement scolaires
Si plusieurs théories avancent que la perception de compétence tient un rôle central dans la motivation et le rendement scolaires, la direction de leurs relations n’est pas consensuelle. Cette étude longitudinale couvrant la transition primaire-secondaire examine cette question. Dès la 5e année du primaire et une fois l’an durant les 4 années suivantes, 830 élèves ont répondu à un questionnaire sur leur perception de compétence et leur motivation…

Profiles of Parenting Autonomy Support and Control: A person-Centered Approach in Students’ Adjustment to the Transition to Middle School
The entry of students into middle school constitutes a life transition that involves adaptive challenges at the psychological, academic and social levels. The provision of autonomy support and avoidance of controlling tactics by parents can be effective resources to help the students through this transition. The purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to identify distinct profiles of parenting support of autonomy and of control, and (2) to …
Students’ self-evaluation bias of school competence and its link to teacher judgment in elementary school
Does parental concern about their child performance matter? Transactional links with the student's motivation and development of self-directed learning behaviors
Does classroom social comparison bias students’ evaluation of their own competence
Familial and personal characteristics profiles predict bias in academic competence and impostorism self-evaluations
The goal of this longitudinal study was to explore the familial and personal characteristics that are potentially shared by two related phenomena observed in students: negative bias in self-evaluation of academic competence and impostorism. Specifically, this study aimed to examine whether the same set of characteristics (parental overprotection, conditional parental support, test anxiety, concern over mistakes and self-esteem) could be combined …
Étude longitudinale du rôle du soutien conditionnel parental dans l’anxiété d’évaluation de l’élève
L’anxiété d’évaluation est en contexte scolaire une émotion perturbante en ce qu’elle détourne l’attention de l’élève de la tâche au profit de ruminations sur soi. Le but de cette étude est d’examiner le rôle de la perception par les élèves d’un soutien conditionnel de leurs parents dans le développement de l’anxiété d’évaluation. L’hypothèse à tester est que la perception de compétence faible et le perfectionnisme négatif que le soutien conditio…
The mediating effect of self-evaluation bias of competence on the relationship between parental emotional support and children's academic functioning
BackgroundIt is well established that children's self-evaluation bias of competence is related to the quality of parent-child emotional relationship. Such biases are linked to children's academic functioning and achievement. Links have also been established between the quality of parent-child emotional relationship and children's academic functioning. No study has yet explored how the effects of children's emotional relationship with their parent…
Quand se juger meilleur ou moins bon qu’il ne l’est s’avère profitable ou nuisible à l’élève
Cet article présente une revue des travaux ayant examiné la question des biais d’auto-évaluation de compétence cognitive ou scolaire chez des élèves et des étudiants. Dans une première partie, nous abordons la question de la mesure des biais d’auto-évaluation. Dans une seconde, nous présentons quelques rares études qui ont tenté d’identifier leurs déterminants. Dans une troisième partie, nous discutons du point de vue controversé quant au caractè…
Relation between perceived scholastic competence and social comparison mechanisms among elementary school children
On the Development of Harmonious and Obsessive Passion: The Role of Autonomy Support, Activity Specialization, and Identification With the Activity
Recent research ( Vallerand et al., 2003 ) has supported the existence of two types of passion for activities: a harmonious and an obsessive passion. The purpose of this investigation was to study the processes likely to lead to the development of passion. Three studies using correlational and short‐term longitudinal designs with varied populations ranging from beginners to experts reveal that identification with the activity, activity specializa…
Being Proud of Oneself as a Person or Being Proud of One’s Physical Apearance: What Matters for Feeling Well in Adolescence
Among the numerous studies aimed at examining the link between appearance satisfaction and self-esteem at adolescence very few, except Zumpf and Harter (1989), have specifically examined the directionality of the relation. Hence, the first goal of this study was to examine the distribution of adolescents, according to their gender and grade level, within each of the following two groups: those who acknowledge that the evaluation of their physical…
Changes in self-perceptions of competence and intrinsic motivation among elementary schoolchildren
Background: Children's perceived competence and intrinsic motivation are assumed to be very high at the outset of schooling. However, how they change and how they relate to each other and to academic achievement across early schooling years remain open to question.Aims: This 3-year longitudinal study was aimed at examining the following questions. Do children's perceived competence and intrinsic motivation about reading and mathematics change acr…
The relation between accuracy of self-perception and cognitive development
Background. It is now widely recognised that student's self-perceptions of competence have an effect on their behaviours and learning. Previous studies have shown that children only gradually develop the ability to evaluate accurately their own competence. One possible explanation for this is that younger children have not reached a level of cognitive development required to perform such evaluations.Aims. The objective of these two studies was to…
The impact of goal orientation on self-regulation and performance among college students
The first objective of this study was to examine whether a relationship exists between types of goal orientation, self-regulatory processes and school performance and the second was to examine how students' self-regulation and academic performance differ according to their profiles resulting from combining learning and performance goals orientation. A total of 702 college students (463 females and 239 males) was administered a questionnaire asses…
