q1 i? The higher people rate the valence of a topic, the higher the perceived cognitive conflict and the more interest they feel, raising the probability they will contribute to the wiki. → Ulrike Cress & Joachim Kimmerle 2008

Evidence¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

Theoretical proposal in the Motivational processes section: motivation for equilibration is a function of incongruity size and topic valence, with valence proposed as a linear relation (citing Krapp 1999 and Colombetti 2005 on valence). No data are reported for this relation.

"the higher people rate the valence of the topic, the higher the perceived cognitive conflict is and the more interest (Krapp 1999) people feel."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Four forms of learning and knowledge building with wikis: internal and external assimilation and accommodation
• Only medium-level incongruity between individual knowledge and wiki information causes cognitive conflict that motivates equilibration — related
