New Publication: Daily affective-motivational experiences during exam preparation

This study investigates the interactions between motivational beliefs and emotions of medical students during daily exam preparation. Another focus was on how much motivation and emotions fluctuate from day to day. In contrast to previous studies that examined long-term effects, the results of this study provide short-term, process-related insights and show how motivation and emotions dynamically interact during learning.
