Article Abstract
Grounded in Duda's integrated model of the motivational climate, the current study examined the hypothesized mediating role of motivation quality in the relationships between empowering and disempowering teacher-created motivational climates and indicators of quality engagement in secondary school physical education (PE). The hypothesised model was tested cross-sectionally and longitudinally in two separate samples of students. Data were collected via questionnaires measuring the motivational climate, autonomous and controlled motivation and indicators of engagement (enjoyment, concentration and boredom). Cross sectional data collected from 832 students (439 males and 386 females) while longitudinal data stemmed 299 students (166 males and 163 females). All students were from schools in Wales aged between 12 and 15 years. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesised model and the mediating role of autonomous and controlled motivation. The hypothesised model was supported cross-sectionally and longitudinally, indicating that empowering climates positively predicted students' autonomous motivation for PE, whereas disempowering motivational climates positively predicted controlled motivation. In turn, autonomous and controlled motivation positively and negatively predicted indictors of students' engagement in PE in the hypothesised directions. Analyses revealed relationships between empowering and disempowering climates with enjoyment, concentration and boredom were indirect via autonomous and controlled motivation. In summary, results support the role of autonomous and controlled motivation in the differential relationships between empowering and disempowering motivational climates and indicators of the quality of student engagement. The findings suggest that targeted professional learning opportunities for PE teachers are needed which facilitate more empowering climates and reducing disempowering strategies.

Bowdoin College, Brunswick, ME, USA.
These studies examine whether expressing outrage at a prejudiced individual may undermine justice-insensitive White Americans' motivation to engage in more costly actions addressing systemic racism. Study 1 ( = 896) manipulated White privilege salience and the opportunity to express outrage before measuring donations to a racial justice organization. Reminders of racial privilege increased White collective guilt, and donations among White U.

Introduction: Teacher expectations are believed to play a critical role in shaping students' academic achievement and creativity, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the mediating role of achievement motivation in the relationships between teacher expectations, academic achievement, and creativity among junior high school students, aiming to provide empirical insights for effective educational practices.
Methods: A controlled experimental design was employed to examine the psychological effects of teacher expectations.

Purpose: This study explores how immersive simulation-based learning affects nursing students' engagement, motivation, satisfaction, self-confidence, and knowledge gains in anatomy education.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out from January to February 2025 among nursing students. A total of 76 participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: an experimental group receiving immersive simulation (n=38) and a control group following traditional instruction (n=38).
Cardiopulmonary Point-of-Care Ultrasonography for Hospitalist Management of Undifferentiated Dyspnea.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypertension, Department of Medicine, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Importance: The association of cardiopulmonary point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) with length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs for patients admitted to internal medicine wards remains uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate a collaborative implementation model involving hospitalists, sonographers, and a remote cardiologist for integrating cardiopulmonary POCUS into the assessment of adult patients (≥18 years) hospitalized with undifferentiated dyspnea, and to assess its association with LOS and hospitalization costs.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This quality improvement study employed a type 1 effectiveness-implementation hybrid design using a 6-month stepped-wedge cluster randomized approach, conducted at a tertiary care hospital in the US between December 7, 2023, and July 2, 2024, to compare the standard-of-care (control) with the intervention group.
Insights Into How Digital Health Interventions Shape Outcomes for Emerging Adults Living With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Realist Process Evaluation.
J Med Internet Res

Institute for Better Health, Trillium Health Partners, Mississauga, ON, Canada.
Background: Emerging adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) need targeted support to equip them with the knowledge and motivation required for self-management, particularly as they transition from pediatric to adult care. While multicomponent digital health interventions have shown promise in addressing their multifaceted needs, traditional effectiveness studies provide little, if any, insights into which components work effectively, how they function, and for whom.
Objective: This study aims to explore the implementation of a multicomponent, text message-based digital intervention (Keeping in Touch; KiT) to provide early insights into which components may shape participants' transition experiences and how.
