We also analyzed the mediating role of cognitive factors. We recruited a sample of 133 primary education students (aged 6–9 years old) (47.6% girls, 52.6% boys), to whom various measures of the above-indicated variables were administered. Several predictive models were tested through a mediational regression analysis. The results indicated the relevance of intrinsic motivation together with self-esteem as predictors of academic achievement mediated by the cognitive abilities verbal fluency and reasoning. These relationships differed depending on the specific subject. We discuss the educational implications of these findings and emphasize, on the one hand, that academic achievement depends on both cognitive and non-cognitive factors and, on the other hand, the malleability of cognitive factors, as they seem to improve based on motivation and self-esteem. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.251 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 124 / 273 = 0.454 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 60 / 125 = 0.48 2020 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 30 / 44 = 0.682 2020 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 9 = 0.667 2020 Q3 T3 0.611 2020 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2020 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Quílez-Robres, Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8473-8114 Cortés Pascual, Alejandra Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2839-7041 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
