q3 · i? · associational · r2

Bayesian Multilevel-SEM for the extrinsic regulation outcome in the same 446-student, 22-class sample. The relative-lack-of-autonomy-support factor (e.g., items about the teacher investing more effort for other students) was a positive student-level predictor of extrinsic regulation.

"perceived relative lack of autonomy support positively predicted extrinsic regulation."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Perceived differences in teachers' autonomy support form three student-level factors, including relative lack of autonomy support — related
• Students distinguish individual from class-directed autonomy support at the student level, but class-level aggregates form one overall autonomy-supportive atmosphere factor — related
• Perceived individual and class-directed autonomy support positively predict students' intrinsic motivation, effort, and persistence — a broader claim this one bears on
• Self-determination theory holds that autonomy support raises intrinsic motivation, and a meta-analysis finds expected tangible rewards undermine it — a broader claim this one bears on
