This study examined the association between different measures of academic performance and psychological adjustment for a sample of under-researched Asian / Pacific - Islander adolescents from Hawaii. The participants included Native Hawaiians, Filipinos, Japanese, mixed / non - Hawaiians and Caucasians. The results supported the use of the actual quantification of academic performance (i.e. cumulative grade - point average [GPA] or self - reported 'last - report - card’ evaluation) in predicting psychiatric symptoms and school - related behavioural difficulties. As hypothesized, the larger the absolute difference between actual and self - reported performance, the higher were the levels of adjustment difficulties. Students who had a full evaluation grade discrepancy or more between their actual and self - reported evaluations were at higher risk based on the six adjustment outcomes. Implications were discussed from methodological – psychometric and practice - based perspectives. Further research was delineated.
