--- res: bibo_abstract: - In this study, we draw on person–environment fit theory to analyze whether academic success is best explained by individual abilities subjectively exceeding situational demands or by abilities matching the demands. Moreover, we disentangled effects of perceived abilities and subjective person–environment (P-E) fit on academic success. All in all, 693 teacher education students participated in an online questionnaire. Students were asked to rate general requirements of their academic programs (e.g., self-discipline) on a 5-point scale in terms of (1) their own abilities and (2) the perceived relevance for their studies. P-E fit was determined by difference scores between abilities and relevance ratings. Academic success was assessed by grades, perceived performance, and study satisfaction. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling and suggest that academic success is best explained by a match between abilities and demands. Moreover, all three criteria for academic success were more strongly related to subjective fit than to subjective abilities.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Carla foaf_name: Bohndick, Carla foaf_surname: Bohndick - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tom foaf_name: Rosman, Tom foaf_surname: Rosman - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Susanne foaf_name: Kohlmeyer, Susanne foaf_surname: Kohlmeyer - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Heike M. foaf_name: Buhl, Heike M. foaf_surname: Buhl foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=27152 bibo_doi: 10.1007/s10734-017-0173-6 bibo_issue: '5' bibo_volume: 75 dct_date: 2017^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0018-1560 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1573-174X dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC@ dct_subject: - Academic success - Person–environment fit theory - Demands–abilities fit - Higher education dct_title: The interplay between subjective abilities and subjective demands and its relationship with academic success.
