A Confluent Model of Outcomes for Adult Children of Alcoholics: Implications for Assessment, Treatment, and Research
Current conceptions of adult children of alcoholics do not account for recent suggestions that characteristics used to describe them are not valid. These conceptions do not explain the documented heterogeneity with regard to life and therapeutic outcomes. In this paper, an alternative model of outcomes is formulated. This model is based on self-schema theory, behavioral self-regulation and self-efficacy, the influences of the "ecological environm…
Academic Self-Concept and its Relationship to Achievement in a Sample of Junior High School Students
This study examined the relationship of academic self-concept to achievement for a sample of junior high school students. Academic self-concept was found to correlate significantly more strongly with achievement than general self-concept, motivation, and class- room behavior, but not with locus of control. The results of a multiple regression analysis, however, indicated that academic self-concept was approximately twice as powerful a predictor o…
Academic Self-Concept as a Predictor of Achievement for a Sample of Elementary School Students
This study examined the relationship of academic self-concept scores of 122 children with their achievement in Grade 6 as compared to general self-concept and locus of control. Academic self-concept correlated significantly higher with teachers' grades and standardized measures of achievement than either general self-concept or locus of control. A multiple regression analysis also confirmed the potential usefulness of academic self-concept for pr…

Minority Group Status and Bias in College Admissions Criteria
Cleary's and Thorndike's definition of bias in college admissions criteria (ACT scores and high school percentile rank) were examined for black, white, and Jewish students. Use of the admissions criteria tended to overpredict blacks' performance, accurately predict whites' performance, and underpredict that of Jews. In light of Cleary's definition, the admissions criteria proved bias only against Jews. Employing Thorndike's definition led to simi…
