Mind-sets matter: a meta-analytic review of implicit theories and self-regulation. (2013, neutral): “…strategies when trying to reach their goals (e.g., Chen et al., 2008; Dweck, 2000; Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Dweck & Molden, 2005; Elliott & Dweck, 1988; Hong et al., 1999; Nichols, White, & Price, 2006; Pintrich, 2000; Wang & Biddle, 2001; Wang, Chatzisarantis, Spray, & Biddle, 2002).”
An experimental test of self-theories of ability in youth sport (2006, background): “…the same time, other theoretical approaches have been proposed that appear to be conceptually related to achievement goal theory, and researchers have advocated testing the conceptual convergence of achievement goal theory with these complementary perspectives (Roberts, 1992; Wang & Biddle, 2001).”
Sport Psychology: Contemporary Themes (2004, background): “Furthermore, while the theory looks at motivation in terms of the cognitive beliefs associated with success, it fails to look further than behavioural tendencies towards achievement and ability (Wang and Biddle, 2001).”
Motivational Profiles from a Self-Determination Perspective: The Quality of Motivation Matters. (2009, methodology): “Such an approach complements the dimensional or variable-centered approach that is typically used in motivational research (but see Csizér & Dörnyei, 2005; Pintrich, 2000; Ratelle, Guay, Vallerand, Larose, & Senécal, in press; Wang & Biddle, 2001).”
A Profile Approach to Self-Determination Theory Motivations at Work. (2012, background): “…introjected (i.e., to avoid guilt or anxiety), identified (i.e., because the person sees value in the activity), and integrated (i.e., because the person has internalized the reasons for engaging in the behavior; Gagné &Deci, 2005; Koestner & Losier, 2002; Ntoumanis, 2002; Wang & Biddle, 2001).”
Need satisfaction and need frustration as distinct and potentially co-occurring constructs: Need profiles examined in physical education and sport (2019, neutral): “2009; Wang and Biddle 2001, Wang et al.”
College students’ motivation and learning strategies profiles and academic achievement: a self-determination theory approach (2014, background): “With this approach, individuals with similar profiles can be grouped and segmentation strategies can later be developed to increase the effectiveness of interventions (Wang & Biddle, 2001, 2007).”
A self-determination approach to understanding students' motivation in project work (2009, neutral): “Recent studies have adopted this approach in educational settings (e.g., Boiché, Sarrazin, Grouzet, Pelletier, & Chanal, in press; Ratelle, Guay, Vallerand, Larose, & Senécal, 2007; Wang & Biddle, 2001) but none in the PW context.”
Promoting enjoyment in girls' physical education: The impact of goals, beliefs, and self-determination (2007, methodology): “The three theories reviewed provide support that sport ability beliefs are antecedents of achievement goals, and achievement goals are linked to different types of behavioural regulation (e.g. Biddle et al., 1999; Sarrazin et al., 1996; Wang and Biddle, 2001; Wang et al., 2002).”
Student Motivation and Learning in Mathematics and Science: A Cluster Analysis (2016, methodology): “As cluster analysis solution can be unstable, a kmeans clustering method was used to confirm the clusters (Wang & Biddle, 2001).”
Implicit Theories of Ability and Self-regulation Strategies in Physical Education Classes (2003, background): “These include a theory of ability as stable, as a gift, as general, as specific, as learning-induced and as incremental (Ommundsen, 2001 a,b,c; Sarrazin et al., 1996; Wang & Biddle, 2001).”
Motivational clusters and performance in a real-life setting (2009, neutral): “…emerge in sport (e.g., Harwood et al. 2004; Hodge et al. 2008; McNeill and Wang 2005), exercise (Cumming and Hall 2004; Matsumoto and Takenaka 2004; Wang and Biddle 2001), and physical education (Ntoumanis 2002; Wang et al. 2002) settings, researchers have typically used a mix of theoretical…”
The 2×2 achievement goal framework in a physical education context. (2007, methodology): “…approach to multiple goals; this type of approach is quite uncommon in achievement goal research, despite its documented promise (see Bembenutty, 1999; Hodge & Petlichkoff, 2000; Meece & Holt, 1993; Wang & Biddle, 2001), and has yet to be applied to the 2 2 achievement goal framework.”
