The Relationship

This study examined the affective variables, namely study habits and academic self concept to determine if they are correlated and have an impact on adolescents’ academic achievement. Subjects comprised 480 randomly selected students of class XIIth of the 10+2 schools in Darbhanga town (Bihar). They were asked to complete Study Habit Inventory by Dr. M. Mukhopadhyay & Dr. D. N. Sansanwal (2002) and Academic Self Concept Scale (ASCS) by Reynolds et al. (1980) in normal classroom situation. Statistical analyses were performed to ascertain the relationship between affective variables & academic achievement and their effects on academic achievement of adolescents (both rural and Urban). Findings of the study revealed that (1) there is a significant positive correlation between study habits, academic self concept and academic achievement and (2) there is a significant difference between boys and girls( both rural and urban) on the variables, study habits, academic self concept and academic achievement. It was recommended that similar research with appropriate methodology and design may be used to ascertain the degree of conformity which this research has on the above said variables.

Stereotype Endorsement

Based on Eccles’ (1987) model of academic achievement-related decisions, we tested whether women, who are engaged in mathematical fields at university, have internalized, to some extent, the stereotype about women’s inferiority in math. The results indicate that men and women do not assess their ability self-concept, subjective value of math, or performance expectancies differently. However, women’s degree of stereotype endorsement has a negative impact on their ability self-concept and their performance expectancies, but does not affect their value of the math domain. Moreover, members of both genders envisage stereotypical careers after university graduation.
