Subclaims¶

q2 i2 Each of the ten motivation sub-factors shows a significant positive correlation with self-efficacy, ranging from r = 0.19 (integrativeness) to r = 0.37 (criterion measures). → Roshandel 2018

Correlational analysis of the survey data from 210 EFL learners (Table 4) found significant correlations between each motivation sub-factor and self-efficacy; the remaining sub-factors Culture (r = 0.26), ATL2C (r = 0.27), and Integrative (r = 0.19) were also significant at p < 0.05.

"Criterion (r = 0.37, p < 0.05), Ideal ( r = 0.34, p < 0.05), Ought (r = 0.29, p < 0.05), Family (r = 0.21, p < 0.05), InsPre ( r = 0.20, p < 0.05), InsPro ( r = 0.35, p < 0.05), ATLE ( r = 0.36, p < 0.05)"

Related Claims¶

• In the L2MSS, the L2 learning experience predicts intended effort most strongly, while the ideal L2 self is weaker than the theory argues — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Ideal L2 self positively and significantly predicts student self-efficacy, generalizing prior qualitative findings quantitatively — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In the motivational profile of Iranian EFL learners, instrumentality-promotion received the highest mean, followed by ideal L2 self — related
