Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligence is a key determinant of academic and occupational achievement, along with personality, motivation, and a variety of socioeconomic and environmental variables. In addition to their well-researched main effects, it has been shown that cognitive abilities interact with other variables in the prediction of achievement. Despite the growing interest in this field, longitudinal examinations and more in-depth analyses of interaction effects are still scarce.
The aim of this Special Issue is to enhance our understanding of this dynamic interplay, covering interactions between intelligence and other predictors of achievement, such as personality and motivational variables. The roles of socioeconomic factors and environmental conditions, such as school climate, are of equal interest. Since we are eager to depict the full range of achievement, suitable articles may include all forms of achievement outcomes, such as school grades, standardized achievement tests, educational attainment, career choices, or job performance.
Longitudinal studies will most likely advance our knowledge regarding the pathways to achievement and will thus be favored, but the question of what makes individuals succeed in both education and occupation requires a multifaceted perspective. Hence, we encourage diverse and innovative methodological approaches to model interaction effects and welcome contributions from various disciplines. Although we are mostly interested in original empirical studies, submissions of theoretical contributions and thorough literature reviews are also welcome.
