Abstract

The 2I/E model provides a framework to examine the joint effects of social, dimensional, and temporal comparisons on students’ subject-specific academic self-concepts. To date, it has been tested in 12 empirical studies. However, integration of these findings is lacking. We therefore conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis, in which we reanalyzed the data used in all prior 2I/E model studies (N = 45,248). This meta-analysis provided strong support for the 2I/E model: There were moderate social comparison effects, small to moderate dimensional comparison effects, and small temporal comparison effects on students’ math and verbal self-concepts. Moreover, several moderating variables affected the strength of these effects. However, all moderating effects were small in size.
