To examine students’ causal judgements of positive mood in relation to self-regulation, 128 participants from two different schools representing two distinct educational environments Technical/Vocational
School (TSO/BSO): N = 63; General Secondary School (ASO): N = 65) were asked to judge 45 statements containing three possible relationships (A to B; B to A; A <> B) for all iterations of 5 constructs associated
with positive mood, namely Hope, Optimism, Resilience, Confidence, Persistence, 4 constructs associated with self-regulation, namely Motivation, Social support, Problem-solving Learning goals, and 1 construct
representing Academic performance. Based on a Pareto analysis, mental models were constructed for each school. An analysis of the mental models indicates that all students believe positive mood constructs to be causally related to self-regulation constructs with Academic performance identified as the main driver and
Learning goals as the primary outcome for both schools. It is concluded that an appreciation of participants’ causal attributions of positive mood states in relation to self-regulation can present a clearer picture of the conditions under which participants’ causal understanding of positive mood and selfregulation constructs can be activated and used as an interpretive and evaluative framework in learning
encounters. |
