ABSTRACT
Academic self-concept is a key factor affecting college students' academic achievement, but the mechanism of academic self-concept on college students' academic achievement has not been perfect so far. Based on the achievement goal theory and learning strategy, this study constructs a double-chain mediation model of the influence of academic self-concept on academic achievement of 815 college students. The results show that academic self-concept has a significant positive predictive effect on college students' academic achievement. Mastery goal, metacognitive strategy, performance goal and surface cognitive strategy have significant independent mediating effects between academic self-concept and college students' academic achievement.Academic self-concept has a positive effect on college students' academic achievement through the double-chain mediating effect of mastery goal and metacognitive strategy, performance goal and surface cognitive strategy. The mediation model of this study enriches the theories related to academic self-concept and academic achievement of college students, which can promote the subsequent research.
