My first post on the other place was about a new publication, so fitting to do the same here! With a dream collaborative team, my favorite part was showing how qual methods can change our understandings. Open access in Contemporary Educational Psychology!

New #preprint! We surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries to find out: Where do they come across information about #science? How do they #communicate about it? We also tested country factors like #AcademicFreedom and #PressFreedom and identified interesting patterns π

π Interestingly, adaptive motivations share common roots, while less adaptive motivations (fixed mindsets, performance goal, fear of failure) each have unique, isolated patternsβa bit like how "all happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
π‘ Achievement motivation thrives in a community of support. Students are more likely to develop adaptive motivations when they experience positive, combined reinforcement from home, teacher, and peers. This effect is consistent across self-efficacy, learning goals, and task mastery.
In our study published in Contemporary Educational Psychology, we (Lou, Lin, & Li, in press) used machine learning to systematically compare a range of contextual factors on different forms of achievement motivation and see if we can identify common factors. Key takeaways:
