Longitudinal trajectories of student-to-student confirmation and autonomous motivation throughout a college semester
Guided by confirmation theory and self-determination theory, we conducted a longitudinal exploration of college students’ (N = 400) experiences of student-to-student confirmation and their autonomous motivation to learn throughout a 16-week semester. Results of a multivariate latent growth curve analysis suggested that students who received more confirmation at the beginning of the semester also started with greater autonomous motivation; however…
Testing relational turbulence theory in daily life using dynamic structural equation modeling
Using dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM; Asparouhov et al., 2018), this study tests how partner disruptions of daily routines create a chaotic relational state through intensified emotions directed at partners, as posited by relational turbulence theory (RTT; Solomon et al., 2016). To test this affective process, individuals in dating relationships (N = 130) completed daily surveys for 30 days (T = 30; 3,478 total observations), measurin…
Helicopter parenting and first-semester students' adjustment to college
In this study, we examined the relationship between helicopter parenting and first-semester students' ( N = 211) adjustment to college. It was hypothesized that first-semester students who report higher amounts of helicopter parenting would also report higher levels of basic psychological need frustration and lower levels of educational, relational, and psychological functioning. Results of a structural regression model suggested that helicopter …

Profiles of achievement motivation and instructional dissent
We integrated perspectives from achievement goal theory and expectancy-value theory to investigate how undergraduate students’ (N = 475) achievement motivation might influence their instructional dissent. A latent profile analysis of students’ achievement goals, performance self-efficacy, task value, and perceived cost revealed four distinct subgroups of students characterized by differences in their achievement motivation. Students between these…
A longitudinal investigation of relational turbulence during the transition to college
As emerging adults transition to college, they must adapt to new circumstances, both academic and personal. For partners involved in a romantic relationship prior to attending college, this transition has important relational implications, including potential fluctuations in relational uncertainty and interdependence. Guided by relational turbulence theory (RTT), we conducted the present study to model growth trajectories of first-semester studen…
Teacher antagonism
This study was conducted to model how teacher misbehaviors associate with reductions in students’ sustained attention. Participants (N = 423 college students) responded to measures of their perceptions of teacher antagonism, affect for their instructor, intrinsic motivation to learn, and sustained attention throughout the semester. Results of a path analysis indicated that teacher antagonism did not impact students’ sustained attention directly o…
Affective and interest consequences of lecture misbehaviors for students with mastery goals
Guided by an affective theoretical process, we surveyed college students (N = 397) to examine the effect of college instructors’ lecture misbehaviors on students’ emotional interest directly, and indirectly through affect toward the course content, among students who varied in their desire to master the course material (i.e., first- and second-stage moderated mediation by students’ mastery goal orientation). Results of a conditional process analy…
Profiles of doctoral students’ self-determination
Using a person-centered approach and guided by four mini-theories within self-determination theory, we investigated students’ motivation for pursuing their doctorate. Specifically, we examined students’ (N = 205) intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to persevere in their doctoral studies to ascertain if differences in the quality of their motivation would influence burnout symptoms and, in turn, tendencies to enact instructional dissent in their do…
Relational turbulence processes among avoidant and anxious spouses
Relational turbulence theory (RTT) articulates processes that explain why spouses evaluate their marriages as chaotic. Specifically, RTT predicts that relational uncertainty biases cognitive appraisals about the marriage and that partner interference with daily routines heightens negative emotions toward the spouse, both of which, culminate in relational turbulence. Our study confirmed these theoretical processes in marriage. However, by integrat…
A curricular view of communication course offerings of National Communication Association department members
The purpose of this study was to continue the trend of identifying the course offerings of National Communication Association (NCA) department members started by Wardrope (1999). A curricular profile of U.S. communication departments. Communication Education, 48(3), 256–258. https://doi.org/10.1080/03634529909379173 and followed by Bertelsen and Goodboy (2009). Curriculum planning: Trends in communication studies, workplace competencies, and curr…
From student-to-student confirmation to students’ self-determination
In the current study, we applied self-determination theory within a cross-sectional research design to test a latent variable model in order to explore how peer relationships in the classroom might impact students’ autonomous motivation. Using a sample of 342 U.S. college students, we investigated how student-to-student confirmation might indirectly influence students’ intrinsic motivation to learn through the satisfaction of their basic psycholo…
Intellectually stimulating students’ intrinsic motivation
In the current study, we applied self-determination theory to explore a potential explanation for how instructors’ intellectually stimulating behaviors might influence student motivation. Undergraduate student participants (N = 418) responded to a questionnaire regarding their instructors’ teaching behaviors and perceptions of their own of engagement, frequency of student-to-student academic support, self-efficacy for learning, and intrinsic moti…
A mixture modeling perspective of relational turbulence theory in marriage
This study tested propositions of relational turbulence theory (RTT) from a latent variable mixture modeling perspective. A national sample of married individuals (N = 503) completed a questionnaire measuring RTT relationship parameters, experiences, and outcomes. A latent profile analysis provided support for RTT as (a) marriages were well-separated by relational uncertainty and interdependence parameters, (b) spouses belonging to marriages char…
