Subclaims¶

q3 i? The interaction between joy and transformative feedback was significant, unexpectedly attenuating the positive joy–regulation association. → Mathias Mejeh 2026 q3 i? No other significant interaction effects on regulation were identified; the anger × directive feedback interaction was only marginally significant (p < .10). → Mathias Mejeh 2026

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Interaction analyses in the linear mixed-effects models (H2) on eight weeks of data from 194 students, with feedback dummies coded against no feedback. Only the joy × transformative feedback interaction reached significance (p = .029 in Table 4); H2 was not supported.

"the interaction between joy and transformative feedback was significant, albeit unexpectedly indicating that the positive association between joy and regulation was attenuated when students interacted with transformative feedback."

• Pre-actional metacognitive, motivational, and positive-emotional components are positively associated with regulatory behavior in the actional phase, while anger and anxiety are negatively associated — related

• GenAI dependence weakens the positive association between GenAI use and both student outcomes, attenuating it to statistical non-significance at high dependence — related
• No statistically significant interaction effects between satisfaction and adaptive feedback on the subsequent pre-actional phase; only marginal trends emerged (H4 not supported) — related
