摘要

Reading achievement is an important predictor of academic success. Student’s reading achievement has been found to be predicted by teacher’s behavior. Further studies positing that self-concept works as a mediating mechanism in their link have inconsistent findings. It is possible that they failed to consider the subcomponents of self-concept. Additionally, this relation is influenced by cultural background. However, most previous studies adopted a dichotomy between East and West cultures, which overlooks the rich diversity of other cultural traditions. To go beyond this, data including American, Chinese, and Japanese adolescents, who were protagonists in cross-cultural educational studies, were drawn from the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). By employing a multilevel mediation model, our results indicated that two sub-components of self-concept, namely perception of competence and perception of difficulty, mediated the relationship between student’s perceived teacher’s instructional behavior and their reading literacy. In addition, this effect differed across the three countries. For American and Chinese adolescents, both perceived competence and perceived difficulty acted as a partial mediator in the link between perceived teacher’s behavior and reading achievement. But in Japanese sample, the perception of competence fully mediated the above relationship, while perceived difficulty did not play a mediating role. Our results highlight the necessity of adopting multilevel and multidimensional perspectives on research in large-scale samples.
