The Development of Motivation and Amotivation to Study and Work across Age-Graded Transitions in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
2019
People’s motivation to engage in studying and working is an important precursor of participation and attainment. However, little is known about how motivation and the lack of motivation develops normatively across adolescence and young adulthood. Furthermore, there is no comparison of motivation and amotivation development across sequential age-graded transitions such as the mid-schooling transition in adolescence and the school-to-work transition in young adulthood. The current study explored trajectories of motivation and amotivation development in Finland, using piecewise growth curve modelling to analyze five waves of data (age 15–22 years) from a sample of 878 youth (52% male). Indicat…
Motives for physical activity in older men and women : A twin study using accelerometer-measured physical activity
2019
Motives for physical activity may vary considerably by age, sex, and the level of physical activity. We aimed to examine motives for physical activity in older men and women with different physical activity levels as well as whether genetic and/or environmental factors explain those motives. Finnish twins (mean age 72.9 years, 262 full twin pairs) self-reported their motives for physical activity. Time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was monitored using a hip-worn accelerometer. Comparisons between the different physical activity groups of older twins (n = 764-791/motive dimension) were analyzed using the Wald test, and effect sizes were calculated as Cohen's d. Quantitative…
Associations among Basic Psychological Needs, Motivation and Enjoyment within Finnish Physical Education Students
2018
The purpose of this study was to analyse the associations between basic psychological needs, motivational regulations and enjoyment within Finnish physical education (PE) students. The participants of the study were 260 Grade 5 students (Mage=11.86, SD=0.28) and 242 Grade 8 students (Mage=14.93, SD=0.37) who completed a questionnaire prior to their regular PE classes. This cross-sectional study incorporated a multigroup structural equation modelling (SEM, path model) separately for Grade 5 and 8 students, using gender as a grouping value. Results indicated that among Grade 5 students autonomy was directly associated with enjoyment. In addition, there was an indirect path from autonomy to en…
Predicting athletes’ functional and dysfunctional emotions: The role of the motivational climate and motivation regulations
2016
This study examined the relationships between perceptions of the motivational climate, motivation regulations, and the intensity and functionality levels of athletes' pleasant and unpleasant emotional states. Specifically, we examined the hypothesised mediational role of motivation regulations in the climate-emotion relationship. We also tested a sequence in which emotions were assumed to be predicted by the motivational climate dimensions and then served as antecedents to variability in motivation regulations. Participants (N = 494) completed a multi-section questionnaire assessing targeted variables. Structural equation modelling (SEM) revealed that a perceived task-involving climate was …
Using physical education to promote out-of school physical activity in lower secondary school students : a randomized controlled trial protocol
2019
Background Given the documented decline in levels of physical activity in early adolescence, promoting physical activity in young people is a priority for health promotion. School physical education (PE) is an important existing network in which participation in physical activity beyond school can be promoted to the captive young people. The objective of current article is to present the protocol for a PE teacher-delivered theory-based trial to promote secondary school students’ participation in physical activity out-of-school contexts. The intervention will be guided by the trans-contextual model explaining the processes by which PE teachers’ support for autonomous motivation in the classr…
Motivational characteristics and resistance training in older adults: A randomized controlled trial and 1-year follow-up
2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 9‐month supervised resistance training intervention on motivational and volitional characteristics related to exercise, and whether the absolute level and/or intervention‐induced change in these characteristics predict self‐directed continuation of resistance training 1 year after the intervention. Community dwelling older adults aged 65‐75, who did not fulfill physical activity recommendations, were randomized into resistance training intervention groups: training once‐ (n = 26), twice‐ (n = 27), three‐times‐a‐week (n = 28) or non‐training control group (n = 25). Training groups participated in supervised resistance training for 9 m…
Perceived determinants of physical activity among women with prior severe preeclampsia: a qualitative assessment.
2022
Abstract Background The objective of this study was to (1) qualitatively identify the perceived determinants of physical activity among women who have experienced severe preeclampsia, and (2) examine whether these determinants are consistent with the overarching processes outlined in the integrated behavior change (IBC) model, a novel model that describes physical activity as being a result of motivational, volitional, and automatic processes. Methods Patients (n = 35) of the Follow-Up PreEClampsia (FUPEC) Outpatient Clinic, Erasmus MC, the Netherlands, participated in an anonymous online survey. The main outcomes under study were their perceived determinants of physical activity. Responses…
“It Is Like Compulsory to Go, but It Is still pretty Nice”: Young Children’s Views on Physical Activity Parenting and the Associated Motivational Reg…
2020
Physical activity parenting (PAP) is consistently correlated with children’s physical activity (PA). Children’s perception of PAP has garnered little attention given that it mediates the relationship between PAP and child PA outcomes. This study aimed to examine 7–10-year-old children’s perspectives on PAP practices and how they relate to their motivational regulation of PA. A total of 79 children 7–10 years of age participated in 19 semi-structured focus group interviews. Through qualitative theory-guided content analysis, using frameworks of parenting dimensions and self-determination theory (SDT), we found that children’s perceptions of high responsiveness and low demandingness in PAP—ac…
Musiikinopettajan opettamismotivaatio
2015
Oppimismotivaatio on paljonkin tutkittu aihe. Sen sijaan kandidaatintutkielmassani halusin ottaa selvää millaiset asiat vaikuttavat opettajan opettamismotivaatioon ja millainen yhteys sillä on oppilaiden oppimismotivaatioon. Selvitin myös opettamismotivaation yhteyttä työssäjaksamiseen. Opettamismotivaatio ei ole itsestäänselvyys vaan sen rakentamiseen ja ylläpitämiseen vaikuttavat monet tekijät. Eheä ammatillinen identiteetti, hyvä itsetunto ja henkinen hyvinvointi ovat perusta opettamismotivaatiolle. Jos opettaja tuntee itsensä ammattitaitoiseksi ja asiantuntijaksi, se parantaa opettamismotivaatiota. Kykenemättömyyden tunne taas voi vähentää sitä. Musiikkikasvattajalle on työn mielenkiinn…
Vuorovaikutus osana opettajan arviointiosaamista (VOPA) -toimintamallin vaiheittaiset kuvaukset
2021
Vuorovaikutus osana opettajan arviointiosaamista (VOPA) -toimintamallin vaiheittaiset kuvaukset edesauttavat opetustilanteisiin liittyvän vuorovaikutuksen systemaattista havainnointia ja reflektointia sekä tarjoavat yhteistä sanastoa teeman käsittelyyn. Tarkastelemalla ryhmän vuorovaikutusta eri vaiheiden kautta, tuetaan ajatusta opettajan vuorovaikutusosaamisen kehittyvästä luonteesta. Opettajaopiskelijat ja opettajat voivat hyödyntää vaiheittaisia kuvauksia oman opetuksensa suunnittelussa, toteutuksessa ja reflektoinnissa. Opettajankouluttajat voivat hyödyntää vaiheittaisia kuvauksia opiskelijoiden opetusharjoittelun tutkimusperustaisessa havainnoinnissa ja ohjaamisessa. Learning interact…
