A meta-analysis on the relation between fluid intelligence and reading/mathematics: Effects of tasks, age, and social economics status.
TL;DR: Findings imply an integration model of these theories from an educational and developmental perspective: Children may rely on Gf to learn reading and mathematics early on, when high family SES can boost the effects of Gf on reading/mathematics performance.

Relations among math self-efficacy, interest, intentions, and achievement: a social cognitive perspective
TL;DR: The authors examined the interplay among math self-efficacy, interests, aspirations, and achievement among early and middle adolescents and found that prior math achievement positively predicted basal levels of selfefficacy.

Expectancy value interactions and academic achievement: Differential relationships with achievement measures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used latent interaction modeling to test whether the predictive value of expectancy value interactions differs for grades, final examinations, and standardized test scores as measures of achievement in two domains.

Reciprocal effects between self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics and reading
TL;DR: In this article, a sample of N ǫ= 1597 secondary school students in Germany and two measurement occasions within one school year was used to test for reciprocal effects between self-efficacy and achievement in the domains of mathematics and reading.

All better than being disengaged: Student engagement patterns and their relations to academic self-concept and achievement
TL;DR: In this article, a person-centered analysis was applied to describe how the different aspects of student engagement are combined within individual students, and five within-student engagement patterns were identified by latent profile analysis.

Expectancy-Value Theory of Achievement Motivation.
TL;DR: The expectancy-value theory of motivation is discussed, focusing on an expectancy- value model developed and researched by Eccles, Wigfield, and their colleagues, and its components are compared to those of related constructs, including self-efficacy, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and interest.
