‘Non-Cognitive’ Constructs and Measures for the Young Lives School Surveys

In their studies of academic achievement, the Young Lives school survey research teams wish to include a range of psychosocial measures. This working paper prepares the ground for this work. It reviews international literature on psychosocial constructs and measures, often referred to as ‘non-cognitive’ factors, in the determination of academic achievement and longer term outcomes. The review focuses on five recent meta reviews, and also describes a number of studies in low- and middle-income countries not included in these meta reviews, but which have relevance for Young Lives research.
