A three-dimensional taxonomy of achievement emotions
We present a three-dimensional taxonomy of achievement emotions that considers valence, arousal, and object focus as core features of these emotions. By distinguishing between positive and negative emotions (valence), activating and deactivating emotions (arousal), and activity emotions, prospective outcome emotions, and retrospective outcome emotions (object focus), the taxonomy has a 2 × 2 × 3 structure representing 12 groups of achievement emo…
Stability and change in the achievement emotion profiles of university students
Assisting students in debt to overcome academic setbacks with a cognitive-reframing motivation intervention
Adjustment and acceptance beliefs in achievement settings
Attributional retraining
Older adults make up the largest portion of the population of physically inactive individuals. Health challenges, and psychological barriers (e.g., maladaptive causal attributions), contribute to reduced activity engagement and low perceived control. This pilot study tested an attributional retraining (AR) intervention designed to increase control-related outcomes in a physical activity context for older adults with compromised health. Using a ra…
A motivation perspective on achievement appraisals, emotions, and performance in an online learning environment
Cell phones and grades
A healthy dose of realism
Paradoxical Effects of Perceived Control on Survival
These findings deepen the knowledge regarding the conditions under which PC is or is not adaptive, suggesting the consequences depend on age and the extent to which health is valued
The Detrimental Consequences of Overestimating Future Health in Late Life
Results suggest that repeatedly unmet health expectations may undermine motivational resources and accelerate late life declines in physical functioning
Youths' Perspectives on the Reasons Underlying School Truancy and Opportunities to Improve School Attendance
School truancy is common in the United States; however, youths’ perspectives on the underlying reasons for and the best ways to curtail this phenomenon are lacking. This project sought to better understand what factors contribute to youths’ decisions to skip classes or ditch full days of school over time and to solicit youths’ recommendations on how to reduce truancy and improve system functioning. We used a community partnered qualitative descri…
"Attributing heart attack and stroke to "Old Age
This study assessed the extent to which older adults attribute a recent heart attack/stroke to "old age," and examined consequences for subsequent lifestyle behavior and health-care service utilization. Community-dwelling adults ( N = 57, ages 73-98 years) were interviewed about their heart attack/stroke, and an objective health registry provided data on health-care utilization over a 3-year period. Endorsement of "old age" as a cause of heart at…
Boredom and academic achievement
A theoretical model linking boredom and academic achievement is proposed. Based on Pekrun’s (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions, the model posits that boredom and achievement reciprocally influence each other over time. Data from a longitudinal study with college students (N = 424) were used to examine the hypothesized effects. The study involved 5 assessments of students’ boredom and test performance during a university course sp…
Conflicted Goal Engagement
Employing health maintenance strategies that promote motivation-focused thinking but discourage goal-directed behaviors (conflicted engagement) may compromise physical activity and health among very old adults. Further research is needed to determine whether control-enhancing interventions promote harmonious goal engagement and better health among these high-risk individuals
Personal goals as predictors of intended classroom goals
Background and Aims. The literature documents fewer classroom mastery goal structures in secondary school compared to elementary. However, little is known about how personal achievement goals may influence classroom goal structures. This is especially true at the level of pre-service teachers. Our objective was to investigate if pre-service teachers' personal goals predicted their intended classroom goal structures.Sample. Participants were 125 e…

The Effect of Teacher Candidates’ Perceptions of Their Initial Teacher Education Program on Teaching Anxiety, Efficacy, and Commitment
In a novel approach to initial teacher education, we combined a program review perspective and a psychological perspective. First, we assessed the extent to which student teachers (n=137) felt that components of their BEd program prepared them for teaching and whether these components represented meaningful program dimensions. Through content analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and teacher candidates’ own words, five dimensions emerged: classr…
Boredom in achievement settings
The linkages of achievement-related boredom with students appraisals and performance outcomes were examined in a series of 5 exploratory, cross-sectional, and predictive investigations. Studies 1 and 2 assessed students boredom in a single achievement episode (i.e., state achievement boredom); Studies 3, 4, and 5 focused on their habitual boredom (i.e., trait achievement boredom). Samples consisted of university students from two different cultur…
Attributional Retraining
A longitudinal analysis of achievement goals
Affect and emotions are frequently seen as outcomes of mastery and performance goals, but affective experiences may also predict goal adoption. In a predictive study (N = 669 first-year college students), the authors used structural equation modeling to estimate relationships from 2 initial affective experiences to mastery and performance-approach goals, from goals to discrete emotions, and from discrete emotions to final grades in a university c…
Causal beliefs, social participation, and loneliness among older adults
Loneliness can be seen as a social failure subject to causal search: Why am I lonely? Why do I lack friends? According to attribution theory, answers to these questions can influence emotions, motivation, and behaviours. This study examined the relationships between various affiliative causal beliefs (i.e., beliefs about loneliness and friendship development), social participation, and loneliness among older adults (72+ years). Cross-sectional an…
Perceived Academic Control
Exploring the Commonalities Between Adaptive Resources and Self-Enhancement in Older Adults' Comparative Judgments of Physical Activity
Objective. This study examines the extent to which optimism, control beliefs and motivation, and downward social comparison contribute independently to the maintenance of older adults positive self-evaluations in a functional domain. Method. Adaptive resources/strategies and life satisfaction were measured in personal interviews with 164 community-dwelling older adults. Participants judged their physical activity compared with the average person …
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
"Pivotal to the transformation of higher education in the 21st Century is the nature of pedagogy and its role in advancing the aims of various stakeholders. This book brings together pre-eminent scholars from Australia, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and the USA to critically assess teaching and learning issues that cut across most disciplines. In addressing long-standing and newly emerging issues, the researchers examine the scientific evidenc…
An attributional analysis of reactions to stigmas
In two experiments, we examined the perceived controllability and stability of the causes of 10 stigmas. Guided by attribution theory, we also ascertained the affective reactions of pity and anger, helping judgments, and the efficacy of five intervention techniques. In the first study we found that physically based stigmas were perceived as onset-uncontrollable, and elicited pity, no anger, and judgments to help. On the other hand, mental-behavio…

Self-Perceptions of Health
A growing number of studies show that self-perceptions of health are an important predictor of mortality. The present study was designed to extend this research by examining the relation between health perceptions and a range of other outcome measures besides mortality, including control beliefs and morbidity. The results show that older adults who rated their health as "bad/poor" and "fair" were more than twice as likely to die within three to t…

Discrete Emotions in Later Life
More positivity than negativity is demonstrated in this analysis of discrete emotions among 353 community-dwelling individuals from 72 to 99 years old. A complexity in positive emotions was displayed, with more happiness, contentment, and gratitude reported than frustration, sadness, and anger. Our results also imply that another individual's presence may elicit negative emotions such as anger and guilt, whereas perceptions of support may elicit …
Effects of Ethnicity and Sex on Teachers' Expectations of Junior High School Students

Primary and Secondary Control-Enhancing Strategies
The findings may indicate that primary-control strategies have positive health implications for the young-old but that these same strategies become detrimental to health in late life. The findings could further suggest that compensatory secondary-control strategies become increasingly more adaptive in late life
Academic optimistic bias
Stability in Perceived Control
Our findings suggest that health and well-being among very old individuals may be compromised by fluctuating levels of PC, or conversely, that stability in PC enhances health

Detrimental Effects of Falling on Health and Well-being in Later Life
Falling is common among older adults, often resulting in decreased functional ability and quality of life. To understand processes underlying the fall/health and well-being relationship, it is important to identify psychosocial mediators. The current study examined the impact of falling on subsequent physical health, negative emotions and physical activity among 231 young-old (<85) and old-old (85+) community-dwelling adults, and the mediating ef…
Reactions to Stigmas
Reactions toward older adults have been widely researched, but the question of whether such reactions are due to age per se or due to the presence of other stigmas (e.g., physical disabilities) has received little attention. This study was designed to investigate emotional reactions and willingness to help older versus younger adults who exhibited a wide range of stigmas, including AIDS, leg amputation, depression, and so on. Guided by attributio…

Student teachers’ competence and career certainty
In comparison to other professional faculties, student teachers are less certain about their career decisions. Consequently, examining the factors that influence their perceptions of career competence and certainty may be beneficial for their professional development. We examined how student teachers’ (n = 194) gender, grade of instruction, practicum, career anxiety, and perceived control affected their career competence and certainty. Anxiety ha…
Section Selection in Multi-Section Courses
Researchers know little about determiners of section selection in multi-section college courses. Studies on teacher evaluation and on the validity of teacher rating forms have often assumed section to section equivalence of students assigned by customary registration procedures. To investigate the section selection process, a questionnaire containing items on personal history, reasons for section selection, and sources of information about the in…
Recruitment of college volunteers for community service organizations using the lecture method
The present study was undertaken to determine those variables which best predict college students' reactions to lectures designed to solicit volunteers for a juvenile corrections program. One hundred and thirty-four students returned mailed questionnaires which assessed multiple variables related to: (1) audience characteristics, (2) recruiter (lecturer) characteristics, and (3) volunteer program (lecture content) characteristics. Results of cano…
A Methodological Study of Overloadx
The purpose of this research was to establish a methodology for studying stimulus overload in the psychological laboratory. It was argued that in order to maximize the conditions of overload in simulation, the dimensional criteria of maximal intensity, maximal diversity, and minimal patterning must be included in the methodology. In addition, it was suggested that the psychological phenomenon of overload be operationally defined in terms of the i…

An Examination of the Relationship Among Academic Stress, Coping, Motivation, and Performance in College
Academic control and action control in the achievement of college students
A contradiction to the typical pattern of academic success occurs when bright, enthusiastic high school students fail after entering university. Two measures, perceived academic control and action control (i.e., preoccupation with failure) were administered to 524 college students at the beginning of a 2-semester course. Achievement-related cognitions, emotions, motivation, and final grades were measured at the end of the course. High-academic-co…
Academic Emotions in Students' Self-Regulated Learning and Achievement
Academic emotions have largely been neglected by educational psychology, with the exception of test anxiety. In 5 qualitative studies, it was found that students experience a rich diversity of emotions in academic settings. Anxiety was reported most often, but overall, positive emotions were described no less frequently than negative emotions. Based on the studies in this article, taxonomies of different academic emotions and a self-report instru…
