Patterns of Underachievement As Related to Student Personality Traits, Parental Child-Rearing Attitudes, and Academic Information in Ninth Grade Students
Abstract
In recent years, several studies have been done on the relationship between personality variables and the achievement level of students. Based on an examination of Dissertation Abstracts from 1969 to 1975, McMillan (1976) concluded that the majority of achievement related dissertations done during this period indicate that non-curriculum related variables have a significant impact on the attitudes developed by students towards school subjects. Similarly, Asbury (1974) in a comprehensive review of studies related to over- and underachievement also found that variables reflective of student personality, parental attitudes, and sociological factors were significantly related to both under- and overachievement in children.
