What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Social psychology
- Mathematics education
- Developmental psychology
His primary areas of investigation include Self-concept, Social psychology, Academic achievement, Developmental psychology and Structural equation modeling.
Self-concept is closely attributed to Mathematics education in his research.
When carried out as part of a general Mathematics education research project, his work on Big-fish–little-pond effect and Coursework is frequently linked to work in Causal model, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Social psychology research includes themes of Confirmatory factor analysis and Cognitive evaluation theory.
He has researched Academic achievement in several fields, including Construct validity, Expectancy-value theory and Affect.
His biological study deals with issues like Personality, which deal with fields such as Aggression.
His most cited work include:
- Causal effects of academic self-concept on academic achievement: Structural equation models of longitudinal data. (564 citations)
- Longitudinal Structural Equation Models of Academic Self-Concept and Achievement: Gender Differences in the Development of Math and English Constructs: (386 citations)
- Causal ordering of academic self-concept and achievement: Reanalysis of a pioneering study and revised recommendations (291 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alexander Seeshing Yeung mainly focuses on Self-concept, Mathematics education, Social psychology, Pedagogy and Developmental psychology.
His Self-concept research incorporates themes from Confirmatory factor analysis, Academic achievement and Competence.
His Mathematics education research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Perception and Curriculum.
His study in the field of Personality also crosses realms of Cross-cultural, Test validity and Disengagement theory.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Medical education and Reading.
In his research on the topic of Developmental psychology, Mastery learning and Self-efficacy is strongly related with Goal orientation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Self-concept (31.48%)
- Mathematics education (28.24%)
- Social psychology (27.31%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?
- Social psychology (27.31%)
- Mathematics education (28.24%)
- Developmental psychology (22.69%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Social psychology, Mathematics education, Developmental psychology, Competence and Pedagogy.
His work on Self-concept, Expectancy-value theory, Positive psychology and Peer relations as part of general Social psychology study is frequently linked to Well-being, bridging the gap between disciplines.
He works mostly in the field of Self-concept, limiting it down to topics relating to Academic achievement and, in certain cases, Reciprocal and Social comparison theory.
His work in the fields of Mathematics education, such as Students understanding, overlaps with other areas such as Measure, Cognitive load and Element.
His work carried out in the field of Developmental psychology brings together such families of science as Adolescent health and Belongingness.
Alexander Seeshing Yeung brings together Competence and Structural equation modeling to produce work in his papers.
Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Expectancy-value in mathematics, gender and socioeconomic background as predictors of achievement and aspirations : A multi-cohort study (77 citations)
- The importance of autonomy support and the mediating role of work motivation for well‐being: Testing self‐determination theory in a Chinese work organisation (63 citations)
- Math self-concept in preschool children: Structure, achievement relations, and generalizability across gender (31 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social psychology
- Mathematics education
- Developmental psychology
Alexander Seeshing Yeung mainly investigates Social psychology, Self-concept, Developmental psychology, Mathematics education and Competence.
His Self-concept research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Academic achievement, Likert scale and Correlation.
His research integrates issues of Expectancy theory and Expectancy-value theory in his study of Academic achievement.
The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Coping and Interpersonal relationship.
His Mathematics education research incorporates elements of Context, Reciprocal and Perception.
His work deals with themes such as German, Generalizability theory, Pre school age, Self-efficacy and Self perception, which intersect with Competence.
