Using Frame of Reference Theory to Understand the Self-Concept of Academically Able Students.
Williams, Janice E.; Montgomery, Diane
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v18 n4 p400-09 Sum 1995
Frame-of-reference theory was applied to verbal and mathematics self-concept and achievement measures with 103 high school students, ages 13 through 15, who were academically able. Path analysis verified the influence of both internal ability comparisons across academic areas and external ability comparisons relative to peers in determining student self-concepts. (Author/SW)
