Subclaims¶

q3 i? Associations between parental autonomy support and amotivation, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation diminished as students grew older, while needs became more predictive of amotivation with age. → Bureau 2022 q3 i? Samples with a higher proportion of males showed stronger correlations between competence and identified and intrinsic motivation types. → Bureau 2022 (2)

Evidence¶

Bureau 2022¶

Bureau, J. S., Howard, J. L., Chong, J. X. Y., & Guay, F. (2022). Pathways to Student Motivation: A Meta-Analysis of Antecedents of Autonomous and Controlled Motivations. Review of Educational Research, 92(1), 46–72. https://doi.org/10.3102/00346543211042426

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression of meta-analytic correlations on sample mean age. The authors report that "associations between autonomy support from parents and amotivation, identified regulation and intrinsic motivation diminished as students grew older", and that needs became more negatively predictive of amotivation as age increased.

"First, it appeared that associations between autonomy support from parents and amotivation, identified regulation and intrinsic motivation diminished as students grew older."

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression of meta-analytic correlations on the proportion of males in each sample. "When the proportion of males in a sample increased, the correlation between competence and both identified and intrinsic motivation types increased", the only notable gender moderation found.

"When the proportion of males in a sample increased, the correlation between competence and both identified and intrinsic motivation types increased."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Motivation — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Teacher autonomy support predicts students' need satisfaction and self-determined motivation more strongly than parental autonomy support — related
• Education context moderates need–motivation links: amotivation is more strongly negatively related to autonomy and relatedness in classroom than physical education samples — related
• Competence need satisfaction is the strongest psychological-need predictor of students' self-determined motivation types — related
