Abstract	This study seeks to verify whether or not the multilevel mechanisms of self-regulated learning (SRL) processes are consistent with the analyzed data, mediating the effects of economic, social and cultural status (ESCS) on mathematics performance of a full cohort of 15-year-old students (N=5335) in Macao-China. The dataset is drawn from the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 mathematics literacy study. Based on social cognitive theories, two aspects of SRL (motivational beliefs and prior content knowledge activation) are examined using Hierarchical Linear Modeling. At the student level, the three SRL variables mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics intrinsic motivation, and familiarity with mathematical concepts are mediating variables. Between school to student levels where peer effects arising from school ESCS composition are in operation, mathematics self-efficacy is able to mediate the between-level effect of school ESCS composition on student mathematics performance. The significance of this study is that ESCS-performance gap in mathematics amongst students can be narrowed through student regulation of motivation and cognition in the school mathematics curriculum. Promoting ESCS-disadvantaged students’ educational quality can be done in tande
