• Perceived individualized teacher frame of reference (students’ perception that teacher feedback considers students’ effort and former achievements) assumingly positively affects academic self-concept, especially for low-performing students. Following Dimensional Comparison Theory, individualized teacher frame in one school subject might negatively affect self-concept in another subject. Using data of N = 34 771 students (PISA 2000 study) we examined relations between perceived individualized teacher frame of reference and self-concepts in the subjects German and mathematics. Perceived individualized teacher frame of reference positively related to self-concept in the corresponding subject and negatively to self-concept in the noncorresponding subject. Student achievement level moderated the positive relation within subjects. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
