A systematic literature review on the themes and measures used to study academic possible selves
| Resumo: | Possible selves refer to images that individuals create about themselves in the future. They derive from representations of the self in the past and include representations of the self in future. At same time, they represent individually and specific hopes, fears and fantasies. Possible selves can be developed within any context of an individual´s life or domains. This systematic review aims to provide a compilation of the evidence on the themes and measures used to study possible selves in academic domain. Three databases were used (WebScience, PsycArticles, and Scopus) and only studies referring to, and evaluating, possible selves in academic domain were selected. The reporting and research of the results conforms to the Cochrane’s recommendation and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Results showed that the main themes studied in relation to academic possible selves were: identity, self-regulation, academic, and gender. Additionally, the majority of the studies included in the present review used a Likert-like scale to evaluate the presence or absence of academic possible selves. |
