Positive academic self-concept has been considered one of the most important indicators of educational success. Empirical evidence across divergent educational and cultural contexts supports (1) a hierarchical multidimensional model of selfconcept, (2) reciprocal causal relations between academic achievement and corresponding self-concepts, (3) the use of both internal and external frames in making self-concept judgment, and (4) the importance of both social comparison and reflected glory effects.
