Eggum, Natalie D.; Zhang, Linlin; An, Danming; Xu, Jingyi; Clifford, Brandon N.; Costa, Megan – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2022

Lindner, Christoph; Retelsdorf, Jan – Educational Psychology, 2020
In the present study we investigated which role manipulated (i.e., experimentally induced) and perceived (i.e., self-reported) self-control depletion plays in students' (N = 176 seventh graders) achievement-related experiences and behaviour during a test of English as a foreign language, while controlling for trait self-control. Our successful…

Warburton, Victoria; Spray, Christopher – European Physical Education Review, 2008
The purpose of this study was to examine the temporal patterns of approach-avoidance achievement goals, implicit theories of ability and perceived competence in physical education across the transition from primary to secondary school. We also evaluated the predictive utility of implicit theories and perceived competence with regard to achievement…
