Summary:

Taking a critical look at the role of self-regulatory processes and personal agency beliefs in academic and social self-regulatory functioning, this study provides the reader with a theoretical understanding of these processes in the East Asian educational context and provides empirical support for their importance. Chong (Psychological Studies Academic Group, Nanyang Technological U., Singapore) offers this study as a means to discover the extent to which self-regulation and personal agency beliefs can offer an alternative explanation for student performance.
