Intrinsic motivation in a virtual reality mock crime affects participants’ willingness to invest more effort in deceptive interviews

In studies of investigative interviewing, it is not well understood how participant experience of mock-crime activities might affect participants’ desire to perform (well) in subsequent interviews. In this study, we utilized two immersive virtual reality mock-crimes to examine if participants’ intrinsic motivation (i.e., competence, autonomy, relatedness) while committing the virtual mock-crime affects their desire to perform well in interviews. We also examined if the self-reported feeling of presence during the virtual reality mock-crime is associated with participants’ intrinsic motivation. We found significant positive associations between presence and all intrinsic motivation variables in both truth and lie conditions. We also found that competence and relatedness significantly predicted the self-reported effort to perform well in interviews. We discuss these results in the context of prior literature and provide recommendations for researchers on the design of mock-crime experiences.

Motivation for Physical Activity as a Key Determinant of Sedentary Behavior Among Postsecondary Students.

It is known that the transition to adulthood represents a critical period of life when acquiring healthy behaviors can influence lifestyle and health throughout adulthood. Given the importance of the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle, identifying influence factors is key to improving healthy behaviors. The objective of this study is to explore the role of postsecondary students' motivation toward physical activity in the association with their screen time and out-of-school physical activity practice. A total of 1522 postsecondary students (90% were aged 17-20 years) recruited from 17 postsecondary institutions completed the self-reported questionnaire during course time. Multivariate linear regression was used to assess the association between motivation to move including additional predictors of behavior such as intention and tendency to self-activate and self-reported screen time and physical activity controlling for age and sex. Motivation including all 3 motivational variables (interest, utility, competence) was negatively associated with screen time, b = -0.498 (95% CI between -0.635 and -0.361) and positively associated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, b = 133.986, (95% CI between 102.129 and 165.843). Of the 3 motivational variables, interest had the strongest negative association with screen time, b = -0.434 (95% CI between -0.551 and -0.317), and the strongest positive association with physical activity, b = 113.671, (95% CI between 86.396 and 140.946). These findings indicate that the motivation of postsecondary students toward physical activity significantly influences their behaviors, including screen time and physical activity engagement.

On the Interplay of Motivational Characteristics and Academic Achievement: The Role of Need for Cognition

While intelligence and motivational variables are well-established predictors of academic achievement, Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable intrinsic motivation to engage in and enjoy challenging intellectual activity, has not yet been considered comprehensively in this field, especially not longitudinally. By applying latent change score modeling, we examined the incremental value of NFC, considering well-established motivational constructs and prior achievement in the prediction of academic achievement across different subjects in a longitudinal approach across two time points in a sample of secondary school students ([Formula: see text] = 271, [Formula: see text] = 255). Correlations of NFC with grades were comparable to those of established predictors. NFC incrementally predicted academic achievement over and above prior achievement and ability self-concept. A mutual influence of NFC and academic achievement was found pointing to skill development as well as self-enhancement processes taking place in this interplay. Consequently, we propose to include NFC in models for the comprehensive explanation of academic achievement in school.

Identification of the enterprise financialization motivation on crowding out R&D innovation: evidence from listed companies in China

<abstract> <p>Enterprise financial asset allocation depends on its motivation, which significantly influences its R&D innovation. In this study, we theoretically analyzed the motivation behind the crowding-out effect of enterprise financialization on R&D innovation and constructed a panel data model to identify enterprise financialization behavior. Furthermore, we analyzed the characteristics of enterprises with two types of effects on R&D innovation: Crowding-out and non-crowding-out. Using disclosed data from listed companies in China as the sample, the following conclusions were drawn. First, there are two types of motivation for enterprise financial assets: reservoir motivation and substitute motivation. This difference in motivation leads to whether there is a crowding-out effect of enterprise financialization on R&D innovation. Second, based on whether there is a crowding-out effect on enterprise R&D innovation, we found that the difference in reservoir motivation between the two types of samples is reflected in the intensity of inhibition, while the difference in substitute motivation is reflected in significance. Third, there are differences in the mechanism variables of financialization motivation among different samples. The moderating effect of equity concentration is reflected in its intensity, while the moderating effect of financing constraints is reflected in its significance.</p> </abstract>

Analysis of reading comprehension in underachieving high school students: exploring neuropsychological, metacognitive and motivational factors

Introduction: the ability to comprehend written text is of utmost importance for educational progress in high school, given that most academic content is presented in this format, both in print and digital versions. Recent theoretical approaches and empirical studies in psychology and neuroscience have directed their interest towards explanatory models of reading comprehension that include motivational, neuropsychological and metacognitive elements. Objective: analyze, by means of structural equations, the multivariate effects of motivational, neuropsychological and metacognitive factors on reading comprehension in a group of adolescent high school students with reading difficulties. Methods: a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 200 students between 11 and 18 years of age. Measures used: Academic Motivation and Attributional Styles Scale, Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory, Regression Digit Retention Subtest, d2 Attention Test, and Inferential Reading Comprehension Test. Results: only working memory showed a statistically significant direct effect on reading comprehension. Although academic motivation, selective attention, and metacognition did not have statistically significant effects on reading comprehension, there were statistically significant effects on reading comprehension.Conclusions: although only working memory had an effect on reading comprehension, a circuit in which other motivational, cognitive and metacognitive variables are associated could be revealed

Social Goal Orientation, Academic Engagement and Creativity as Predictors of Secondary School Students’ Academic Achievement in Mathematics in Anambra State, Nigeria

Social goal orientation, academic engagement and creativity are strong indicators and facilitators for effective learning. The association among these variables to jointly predict academic achievement has been vague and nebulous in the field of educational psychology. The study aimed to explore the students’ social goal orientation, academic engagement, and creativity as predictors of academic achievement in mathematics in Anambra State. Four research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study adopted a predictive correlational design. The population comprised of 21,204 SS II students from which a sample of 1560 was drawn using probability sampling procedure. Standardized research instruments such as; Social Goal Orientation Questionnaire (SGOQ), Students’ Academic Engagement Questionnaire (SAEQ) and Epstein Creativity Competencies Inventory (ECCI) developed by Epstein were used for data collection. Students’ mathematics achievement scores from the state wide promotion examination were used to represent mathematics achievement. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the reliability of the items in the instruments. A reliability indices were found to be .88, .82, and .92 for SGOQ, SAEQ and ECCI respectively. These scores made the instruments fit for the study. The standard multiple regression was used to analyze the collected data. The standard multiple regression was used to analyze the collected data. The research question 1 was answered using multiple regression. The research question 2 was answered using unstandardized β. The research question 3 was answered using adjusted R2. The research question 4 was answered using standardized β. The null hypothesis 1 was tested using F-test for regression model. The null hypothesis 2 was tested using t-test for adjusted R2. The null hypothesis 3 was tested using t-test for β at .05 level of significance. Findings showed that students social orientation, academic engagement and creativity scores yielded an adjusted R square of .007. This implies that predictors accounted for about 0.7% of the variance scores in academic achievement. Also, the analysis of variance indicated that the regression equation was significant in predicting academic achievement in mathematics. This implies that at least one of the independent variables significantly predicted academic achievement in mathematics. Based on these findings, it was recommended that students should consider social goal orientation, academic engagement and creativity as adaptive motivational variables that have jointly predict academic achievement.

기업분할 유형 선택에 관한 연구

This study analyzed the factors for selecting the type of corporate divestiture for companies listed on the KOSDAQ market in Korea. The factors that led to the selection of the types of corporate spin-offs, physical divisions, were based on the hypotheses of financial motivation and corporate focusing motivation. After selecting variables related to these two, univariate difference test and binomial logistic regression analysis were performed on the 145 companies that promoted corporate divestitures between 2011 and 2020. First, according to the univariate difference test, the debt ratio(DebtR), operating cash to asset ratio (OCFA), and operating cash flow to sales (OCFS), which are variables for verifying financial motivation, all show significant results, indicating a physical division. It was confirmed that it could be a motivation to promote. However, there was no difference between the two divestiture types in the Herfindahl index (Herfin) and the operating index (OPERD), which are variables for verifying the focusing motivation. Looking at the financial motivation variables in the logistic regression analysis, the debt ratio (DebtR), the operating cash to assets ratio (OCFA) and the operating cash flow to sales ratio (OCFS) showed significant results. eanwhile, among the focusing motivation variables, the Herfindahl index (Herfin) did not show significant results, and only the number of business division (OPERD) showed significant results. Looking at the univariate difference test and logistic regression analysis together, companies that promoted physical spin-off had smaller asset size but higher debt ratio (DebtR) than companies that promoted spin-offs. In addition, the operating cash to assets ratio (OCFA) and operating cash flow to sales (OCFS) ratio were also lower than those of companies that pursued spin-offs. Therefore, companies that have pursued physical division are likely to division for financial motivation reasons rather than corporate focusing motivation.
