Thank you for having me @allisonmaster.bsky.social! It was a blast to get to discuss such insightful questions with amazing scholars!
It was @carltonfong.bsky.social day today in Achievement Motivation! 🤩 I brought him in to talk about self-regulation and engagement, but we also asked lots of questions about measurement non-invariance, latent profile analyses, self-consequating and help-seeking, ... (1/2)

I wonder how many accidental “reply all” emails @aeraedresearch.bsky.social gets that are either “yay!” or “boo” 🤣

On a separate note, thanks again to all who submitted such excellent work and who worked hard to review for @aera-motsig.bsky.social —I see you and I GREATLY appreciate you! ❤️

After a tough exam, the best next step isn’t cramming—it’s reflecting. 🔄
Our study shows: Honest review of what worked + clear plans for change = better results next time.

Reflection is the bridge from struggle to success. 📈

Motivation matters! “By understanding student motivation, these teaching strategies and approaches can be fine-tuned and adapted to differently motivated students to maximize student learning. That is exactly what motivation scientists in education have been investigating for decades.”

Surprised that psychologists are still having the same arguments about whether what happens inside people’s heads matters for choices & success? I am! But fortunately @drmuenks.bsky.social and @carltonfong.bsky.social are here to reiterate the overwhelmingly convincing case that motivation matters!
