q2 i? Longitudinal analysis of Wheel data supports a cyclical process in which prior motivation is an impetus for subsequent engagement, and prior engagement also predicts subsequent motivation. → Andrew J. Martin 2023

q2 · i? · associational · r?

The review reports a study by Martin et al. (2017) using data collected around the Wheel that tested the direction of the motivation-engagement relation. Both directions of prediction were supported, "ultimately indicating a cyclical process." No effect sizes are printed.

"Harnessing data collected around the Wheel, Martin et al. (2017) tested this contention. They found support for the claim that prior motivation is an impetus for subsequent engagement; but there was also support for a role for prior engagement predicting subsequent motivation, ultimately indicating a cyclical process."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
