Control over the integrative self-sorting of metallo-supramolecular assemblies opens up possibilities for introducing increased complexity and function into a single self-assembled architecture. Herein, the relationship between the geometry of three ligand components and morphology of three self-sorted heteroleptic [Pd2 L2 L'2 ]4+ cages is examined. Pd-mediated assembly of two bis-monodentate p...

Directed motivational currents (DMCs) is a novel construct investigated by motivation researchers. Earlier studies on DMCs have focused explaining its unique nature while the individual difference (ID) factors impacting upon power and long-term sustainment has been under-researched. The aim of this research study was to reveal structural interactions among DMC dispositions, self-regulated strat...

Although the role of individual differences in second language (L2) speech has been extensively studied, the impact of individual differences on the process of second language writing and the written product has been a neglected area of research. In this paper, I review the most important individual difference factors that might explain variations in L2 writing processes and discuss the influen...

background: self-talk can be described as what people say to themselves either obviously or non-obviously. self-talk has been known as someone talks inside or quietly. as a matter of fact, self-talk is self-communication which can occur in several situations. objective: together the athlete’s perceptions of the self-talk intervention and its relationship to their performance to obtain informati...

17 Although in itself “motivation to learn” is a complex multifaceted construct, according to Dornyei (2001), the picture becomes even more complex when the motivation to learn a foreign/second language (L2) is concerned since L2 is a “learnable” school subject as well as socially and culturally bound (it requires the integration of elements of the L2 culture into student’s life space). In a si...

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of real-time electronic formative assessment-based medical education on learners’ motivational beliefs and self-regulation strategies. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 323 students studying at the Medical School of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran, during the first semeste...

Self-organization can be approached in terms of developmental processes occurring within and between component systems of temperament. Within-system organization involves progressive shaping of cortical representations by subcortical motivational systems. As cortical representations develop, they feed back to provide motivational systems with enhanced detection and guidance capabilities. These ...

Early neural research on self-evaluation began testing whether self-evaluation was somehow neurally different than evaluations of other people and inanimate objects. Self-evaluation was lauded as potentially unique partially because of motivational and affective influences. Despite the acknowledgement that motivation influences social cognition such as self-perception, neural models of self-per...

It is generally acknowledged that motivation plays a critical role in second-language (L2) reading. The technology-enhanced learning environment, specifically the computer-assisted reading environment as an interactive tool with distinctive attributes, is said to motivate English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to make more sustained efforts in online reading and show greater perseverance....
