Daily streamflow forecasting using artificial neural networks

Abstract

Examines the developmental patterns of achievement-related concerns, beliefs, and behaviors during the transition into adolescence, as well as the social correlates of achievement orientation during early adolescence. The fear of success, gender role ideology, school performance, and achievement motivation are also discussed. In regard to social correlates, evidence suggests that both family and peers play a role and that early adolescents are affected by both positive and negative influences in the school setting. Three themes emerge: (1) the importance of considering curvilinear relations in addition to linear relations among variables, (2) the complex nature of the fear of success construct, and (3) the idea that adolescent girls and boys may experience achievement and its correlates in qualitatively different ways.
