Trajectories of depressive symptoms during emerging adulthood: Antecedents and consequences (2008, background): “…the use of maladaptive strategies, has been shown to lead to low academic achievement and dissatisfaction with studies in an achievement context (Nurmi et al., 2003) and to lack of intimate friends and feelings of loneliness in social situations (Nurmi, Toivonen, Salmela-Aro, & Eronen, 1997).”
Studying in higher education: students' approaches to learning, self‐regulation, and cognitive strategies (2006, background): “In this tradition university students’ failures and successes, as well as the time in which they manage to complete their studies, have been explained in terms of the goals and cognitive strategies individuals apply (Cantor, 1990; Eronen et al., 1998; Nurmi et al., 2003).”
Motivation During an Excessively Challenging Reading Task: The Buffering Role of Relative Topic Interest (2011, background): “This leads to decreased motivation, task enjoyment, and perceptions of competence, which may result in less persistence for difficult tasks ( Grant & Dweck, 2003 ; Nurmi, Aunola, Salmela-Aro, & Lindroos, 2003 ; Weiner, 1986 ).”
Interrelations among university students’ approaches to learning, regulation of learning, and cognitive and attributional strategies: a person oriented approach (2011, background): “Our findings were in line with some earlier ones: self-directed students’ profile resembles the optimistic strategy, which has shown to be related with general well-being and study success (Eronen et al. 1998; Nurmi et al. 2003).”
