Towards a Causal Model of Learned Hopelessness for Hong Kong Adolescents.
Au, Chung-Park; Watkins, David
Educational Studies, v23 n3 p377-91 Nov 1997
Interprets a survey of junior secondary students conducted to examine the role of learned hopelessness and academic self-esteem in academic achievement. Finds that learned hopelessness and academic self-esteem play separate mediating roles between prior academic failure and academic achievement; learned hopelessness and academic self-esteem have no direct effect on one another.
