Students' level of boredom, boredom coping strategies, epistemic curiosity, and graded performance (2016, background): “Reciprocal relations between level of boredom and mathematics grades should also be considered in longitudinal studies (Pekrun et al., 2014).”
Achievement Emotions and Academic Performance: Longitudinal Models of Reciprocal Effects. (2017, methodology): “By using grades, we sought to employ an ecologically valid measure of student achievement (for a similar procedure, see Pekrun et al., 2014).”
Exploring Student Persistence in STEM Programs: A Motivational Model (2015, result): “…(cf. Brophy, 2005; Harackiewicz et al., 2002; Kaplan & Maehr, 1999; Roeser, Midgley, & Urdan, 1996), likely due to participants having obtained relatively high grades (i.e., above 70) thereby contributing to lower variability in achievement as compared to recent studies (e.g., Pekrun et al., 2014).”
Academic boredom, engagement and the achievement of undergraduate students at university: a review and synthesis of relevant literature (2018, background): “In a later study of 424 undergraduates taking an introductory psychology course in Canada alone (mean age 20.5 years), Pekrun et al. (2014) employed a small number of particularly advanced structural equation models to test the reciprocal rather than linear relationship between academic boredom and…”
Gritting their teeth to close the sale: the positive effect of salesperson grit on job satisfaction and performance (2018, background): “Future research could examine this relationship and the possibility that there is a reciprocal relationship (Pekrun et al. 2014) between grit and job satisfaction such that grit leads to job satisfaction, which in turn leads to the development of more grit.”
A Review of Competency‐Based Learning: Tools, Assessments, and Recommendations (2017, background): “…on STEM students has shown that increased perceived autonomy (Black & Deci, 2000; Hall & Webb, 2014), motivation (Aes-chlimann, Herzog, & Makarova, 2016), and positive emotions and attitudes (Pekrun, Hall, Goetz, & Perry, 2014; Pekrun & Stephens, 2010) signiﬁcantly predict improved performance.”
Beyond cold technology: A systematic review and meta-analysis on emotions in technology-based learning environments (2018, methodology): “…models of technology acceptance (Davis, 1989), the cognitive-affective theory of learning with media (Moreno, 2006), Plass and Kaplan's (2016) integrated cognitive affective model of multimedia learning, and the control-value theory of achievement emotions (CVT; Pekrun, 2006; Pekrun & Perry, 2014).”
Achievement goals, emotions, learning, and performance : A process model (2015, background): “…correlate with elaboration and anxiety in the expected directions, with time management correlating with achievement in the same semester , goals correlating with achievement only in the first semester, and boredom mainly correlating with achievement in the next semester (cf. Pekrun et al., 2014).”
Control-value appraisals, achievement emotions, and foreign language performance: A latent interaction analysis (2020, background): “…designated appraisal-focused interventions into classrooms, the present research suggests that teachers should be explicitly informed about the importance of students’ perceptions of control and value for their emotional experiences and academic learning (Pekrun, 2014; Shao et al., 2019).”
Students’ self-determined motivation and negative emotions in mathematics in lower secondary education—Investigating reciprocal relations (2018, background): “Emotions have been found to play a particularly essential role with regard to achievement but also with regard to motivation (Pekrun, 2014).”
