Despite considerable knowledge of the processes underlying successful academic performance (see Eccles, Wigfield, & Schiefele, 1998), our understanding of the connections between inter-and intrapersonal achievement mechanisms remains limited. Scholars in educational and developmental psychology have established a broad base of empirical findings concerning the student-level characteristics and capacities that predict academic performance (see Wigfield & Eccles, 2002; Aronson, 2002). We also know that significant others’ beliefs and behaviors regarding academics predict student performance (see Juvonen & Wentzel, 1996; Wigfield & Harold, 1992). However, research on the interplay between others’ influence and students’ own psychological factors in predicting achievement merits considerably more theoretical and empirical attention (Wentzel, 1999). One theoretical framework that simultaneously incorporates both socializing agents’ beliefs and the individual’s self-perception system is symbolic interactionism (Cooley, 1902; Mead, 1934). According to symbolic interaction theory (SIT), the individual forms “reflected appraisals” of what others think of him or her, which are in turn used to construct the individual’s own self-concept. When others think highly of an individual, he or she is presumed to recognize this positive regard from others and subsequently
