The present anticipation of future goals creates instrumental motivation for immediate actions that are expected to be instrumental for achieving those future goals. Instrumental motivation is however by definition extrinsic motivation. Based on empirical research in educational settings, it is commonly argued that extrinsic motivation is of lower quality than intrinsic motivation. More recent ...

objective: the present study aimed at examining the effect of multidimensional motivation interventions based on martin's model on cognitive and behavioral components of motivation. methods: the research design was prospective with pretest, posttest, and follow-up, and 2 experimental groups. in this study, 90 students (45 participants in the experimental group and 45 in the control group) const...

Although the self-concordance of goals has been repeatedly shown to predict better goal progress, recent research suggests potential problems with aggregating autonomous and controlled motivations to form a summary index of self-concordance (Judge, Bono, Erez, & Locke, 2005). The purpose of the present investigation was to further examine the relations among autonomous motivation, controlled mo...

BACKGROUND Combined lifestyle interventions (CLIs) have been advocated as an effective instrument in efforts to reduce overweight and obesity. The odds of maintaining higher levels of physical activity (PA) and healthier dietary behaviour improve when people are more intrinsically motivated to change their behaviour. To promote the shift towards more autonomous types of motivation, facilitator ...

Motivation and perspective for an exciting new research direction interconnecting logic, spacetime theory, relativity— including such revolutionary areas as black hole physics, relativistic computers, new cosmology—are presented in this paper. We would like to invite the logician reader to take part in this grand enterprise of the new century. Besides general perspective and motivation, we pres...

1. Cohomology theories: definition, examples including ordinary cohomology, K-theory and cobordism. 2. Products and operations: motivation, definitions and examples (especially K-theory). 3. New theories from old: splittings, Bousfield localization, formal group laws and the Landweber exact functor theorem. 4. Relationships between theories: some natural transformations, the chromatic viewpoint...

abstract background: motivation to academic achievement is critical for students of medical sciences, particularly nursing students. it is directly related to high levels of achievement and quality of life. accordingly, diminished motivation would result in academic decline, study and work desertion and exhaustion. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive behavioural i...

Human pheromones, a type of social chemosignal, modulate endocrine function by regulating the timing of ovulation. In animals, pheromones not only regulate ovulation but also female reproductive motivation and behavior. There is no extant evidence that humans produce social chemosignals that affect human sexual motivation or reproductive behavior as occurs in other mammals. Here, we demonstrate...
