Janke 2024¶

Janke, S. (2024). Dynamic or Static Goal Regulation: Implications of Weak and Strong Bonds Between Autonomous/Controlled Reasons and Aims for Achievement Goal Striving. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09968-w

q2 · i? · review · r2

The author's narrative inspection of studies linking intrinsic life aspirations with performance goals across the reviewed literature. The three positive cases were "carried out within samples of athletes", while educational-context samples showed nil associations; no pooled effect size is printed for this contrast.

"The studies have in common that they were carried out within samples of athletes and are contrasted by nil associations within every sample that investigated more classical educational contexts."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
