Gender Differences in Press for Achievement
Press for Achievement and School Grades
This research, based on data from 411 Filipino secondary school students, tested the hypothesis that press for achievement from parents, peers, and teachers mediates the relationship between school grades from one year to the next. No support was found for this contention after both linear and various curvilinear regression models were examined
Approaches to Studying by Filipino Students
The responses of 212 male and 213 female Filipino students to the short version of Entwistle's Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI-S), measures of self-esteem, locus of control, and field-independence were obtained at two testing sessions six months apart. A comparison of the factor structure of the responses to the ASI-S at both points in time confirmed the relative stability of the underlying dimensions. A multivariate analysis of variance in…
The Validity of the Four Subscales of the Inventory of Learning Processes for a Sample of Filipino Freshman College Students
The college entrance examination scores and first-year college grade point averages of 123 Liberal Arts and Science students at a Filipino university were related to their responses to each of the four subscales of the Inventory of Learning Processes: (a) Deep Processing; (b) Elaborative Processing; (c) Fact Retention; and (d) Methodical Study. The results indicate that the Elaborative Processing subtest was valid in predicting achievement at the…
Field Independence as a Predictor of Filipino University Engineering Grades
The Hidden Figures Test (HFT) (Fitzgerald and Hunt, 1977) was found to correlate 0.32 with the grades of 186 first year engineering students at a Filipino university. When this measure of field independence was added to these students' National College Entrance Examination scores, a small but significant improvement in prediction of these grades was noted. It was suggested that quick, easily administered and scored, non-verbal group tests such as…
Antecedents of Personal Adequacy of Filipino College Students
Responses of 307 male and 842 female Filipino university students to the California Psychological Inventory were related to measures of sex, socioeconomic status, family size, quality of family relationships, intelligence, level of academic aspiration, and school achievement. A multiple R of 0.34 was found between personal adequacy as measured by the inventory and these antecedents. The main contributors to the prediction of personal adequacy wer…
The Reliability and Validity of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory for a Sample of Filipino High School Girls
Evidence is presented partially supporting the reliability and construct validity of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory with Filipino girls. For a re-test sample of 193 Filipinas, 11-13 years of age, a test-retest coefficient of 0.61 was found over a nine month period. As predicted self-esteem scores were significantly associated with IQ scores and, in 4 out of 5 cases, with teacher ratings of pupils' self-esteem. However, the hypothesis that …
Intellective and Non-Intellective Predictors of Academic Achievement At a Filipino University
A follow-up study of 1,149 freshmen at a major Filipino university showed that intellective measures (National College Entrance Examination, Otis-Lennon Mental Abilities Test, and high school grade point average) were only moderately successful predictors of college grade point average. However, the nonintellective variables considered were (with the possible exception of level of scholastic expectation) of little value as predictors of college p…
Self-esteem and causal attribution of achievement
Measures of self-esteem and attribution for future success or failure at a forthcoming examination were obtained for 241 Filipino university students. Analysis of variance indicated that the high self-esteem subjects were significantly more likely than the low self-esteem subjects to perceive their possible success as due to internal causes and to attribute possible success more to internal causes than they did possible failure. Low self-esteem s…
Stability of Self-Esteem of Filipino Girls
For 193 Filipino girls the test-retest reliability over a 9-mo. period of the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory was .61. Neither level of self-esteem nor field-dependence/independence was related to stability of self-esteem
Field Dependence and Self-Esteem in Filipino Girls
It has been suggested (5) that persons with low self-esteem do not possess a welldeveloped conceptual buffer for evaluating stimuli in the environment and that they therefore tend to conform passively to the influence of the prevailing field or context. In other terminology, the low self-esteem individual is field-dependent (4). There has been little empirical investigation of this claim. However, Pawelkiewicz and McIntire (3) did report higher s…
