Description
The purpose of the present study was to establish whether students' self competence beliefs and IQ interact when they need to perform at school and if so, whether this interaction is moderated by age and/or sex. The mean grade in mathematics, self-competence beliefs in mathematics, IQ, age, sex and socioeconomic status of 928 French Canadian students from Montreal high schools were analyzed. As predicted, the students' IQ and self-competence beliefs in mathematics correlated in a positive and significant way with their average grade in mathernatics. Analyses also confirmed a significant correlation between the IQ and students' self-competence beliefs. When broken down, this interaction shows that for students with high self-competence beliefs, the predictive value of IQ is higher, but for students with low self-competence beliefs, the relationship between IQ and performance does not change significantly. Finally, age and sex do not influence the interaction between the IQ and students' self-competence beliefs, nor are they correlated with academic performance. Clinical implications are discussed. Key words: academic achievement in mathematics, IQ, student's self-competence beliefs, moderator, age, sex
