A new measure of motivation toward education has been developed in French, namely the Echelle de Motivation en Education (EME). The EME is based on tenets self-determination theory and composed 28 items subdivided into seven sub-scales assessing three types intrinsic (intrinsic to know, accomplish things, experience stimulation), extrinsic (external, introjected, identified regulation), a motivation. purpose this investigation was cross-culturally validate English EME. translated through...

Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 1991), when applied to the realm of education, is concerned primarily with promoting in students an interest learning, a valuing and confidence their own capacities attributes. These outcomes are manifestations being intrinsically motivated internalizing values regulatory processes. Research suggests that these processes result high-quality learning conceptual understanding, as well enhanced personal growth adjustment. In this article we also...

A new measure of motivation toward sport has been developed in French, namely the Echelle de Motivation vis-à-vis les Sports. Two studies were conducted to translate and validate this English. The Sport Scale (SMS) consists seven subscales that three types Intrinsic (IM; IM Know, Accomplish Things, Experience Stimulation), forms regulation for Extrinsic (Identified, Introjected, External), Amotivation. first study confirmed factor structure scale revealed a satisfactory level internal...

As an initial step in extending Deci and Ryan' (1985) self‐determination theory to the investigation of motivation second language (L2) learning, first goal our study was assess validity reliability a scale intrinsic extrinsic for L2 learning. The purpose examine relations between these types motivationand four orientations discussed by Clément Kruidenier (1983). results generally supported psychometric integrity scale. Moreover, 7 correlated motivational subscales...

The present series of studies sought to develop and conceptually validate a taxonomy reasons that give rise academic amotivation investigate its social antecedents consequences. In Study 1 (N = 351), an exploratory factor analysis offered preliminary support for comprising four dimensions: ability beliefs, effort characteristics the task, value placed on task. 2 349), proposed was further corroborated through 1st- 2nd-order confirmatory analyses, discriminant validity construct were...

When teachers are more supportive of autonomy and less controlling, students demonstrate higher levels intrinsic motivation self-determination. The purpose this study was to examine socialcontextual conditions that led (N 254) who taught classes from Grades 1 12 be versus controlling with their students. Using structural equation modeling, the authors observed perceive pressure above (they have comply a curriculum, colleagues, performance standards) below perceived nonself-determined), they...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to test a motivational model sport dropout that integrates the four‐stage causal sequence proposed by Hierarchical Model Vallerand ( 1997 ) and elements from achievement goal theory (Nicholls, 1989 ). posits task involving climate facilitates, while an ego‐involving undermines, perceptions competence, autonomy, relatedness. In turn, feeling incompetent, non‐autonomous, unrelated others undermines self‐determined motivation toward handball which leads...

This study considers how students’ perceptions of their teachers’ communicative style, particularly the extent to which teachers are perceived support autonomy and provide useful feedback about learning progress, related extrinsic intrinsic motivational orientations. It also examines link between these variables various language outcomes, including effort, anxiety, competence. Students registered in a summer French immersion course (N = 78) completed questionnaire that was used assess...

The Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) is an 18-item measure of work motivation theoretically grounded in self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000). purpose the present research was twofold. First, applicability WEIMS different environments evaluated. Second, its factorial structure psychometric properties were assessed. Two samples workers (military: N 465; civilians: 192) voluntarily completed questionnaires. Using WEIMS’s 3 indexes (work index, self-determined...

This research examined changes in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation during the transition from junior to senior high school as well impact of motivational on various educational consequences (i.e., dropout intentions, absenteeism, homework frequency, aspirations). A total 646 participants completed a questionnaire 8th, 9th, 10th grade.Using true intraindividual change modeling technique (R.Steyer, I.Partchev, & M.J.Shanahan, 2000), authors reached results revealing that students’ decreased...

Although the self-concordance of goals has been repeatedly shown to predict better goal progress, recent research suggests potential problems with aggregating autonomous and controlled motivations form a summary index (Judge, Bono, Erez, & Locke, 2005). The purpose present investigation was further examine relations among motivation, progress determine relative importance motivation in pursuit personal goals. results three studies meta-analysis indicated that substantially related whereas...

This paper presents 4 studies which were conducted for the purpose of constructing and validating a new measure people's motivation environmental behaviors, namely Motivation Toward Environment Scale (MTES). The MTES consists subscales that an individual's level intrinsic, extrinsic, behaviors. These correspond to different forms identified by Deci Ryan in their self‐determination theory (SDT, 1985, 1991). Results from first study supported factor structure scale revealed satisfactory...

A confirmatory test of Ajzen and Fishbein's (1980) theory reasoned action as applied to the realm moral behavior using structural equation modeling was conducted. Ss were 1056 male female athletes ranging in age from 10 18 years (M=14.5). completed a questionnaire that contained 2 hypothetical situations related sports. For each situation, scales assessing all components model. modified version provided significant improvement over Fishbein

Self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2008) has led to much research over the past 25 years or so.The present collection of articles in this special issue attests that.In last article, we a short overview issues

The present study had two purposes: (a) to replicate previous research on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for language learning in French Canadian students of English, (b) consider the relations between integrative orientation. Québécois university (N = 59) a summer English immersion course completed questionnaire addressing their reasons learning, perceptions autonomy competence, effort expended determination pursue studies, achievement. results correlational analyses supported predicted...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties a new measure client motivation for therapy, Client Motivation Therapy Scale. This scale is designed client's Intrinsic Motivation, four forms regulation Extrinsic (integrated, identified, introjected, and external regulation), Amotivation therapy. These subscales correspond different identified by Deci Ryan (1985) fall along self-determination continuum. An experimental version scale, with related scales,...

The goal of the study is to evaluate impact perceived level difficulty environmental behaviours on magnitude relationship between self-determination and occurrence behaviours. participants (n = 444) completed Motivation Toward Environment Scale, along with self-report measures Three types are examined: Recycling, purchasing environmentally-friendly products, educating oneself as what can be done for environment. It hypothesized that motivation predicts significantly. Moreover, expected...

Individuals' reasons for their lack of motivation toward environmental protective behaviors were proposed: amotivation because strategy, capacity, effort, and helplessness beliefs. Confirmatory factor analyses correlations between the four types constructs related to environment supported validity constructs. A structural model in which beliefs could be predicted by other sets beliefs, wherein strategy ability resulted from effort was tested. All estimated parameters significant, with...
