Regulating Emotions and Learning Motivation in Higher Education Students
Alonso-Tapia, Jesús; Abello, Diana M.; Panadero, Ernesto
International Journal of Emotional Education, v12 n2 p73-89 Nov 2020
This study has a two-fold objective: First, to adapt and validate the Emotions and Motivation Self-Regulation Questionnaire (EMSR-Q) with university students in Colombia, and secondly, to verify whether the relationship model between emotional and motivational self-regulation and academic performance coincides with what was initially proposed by the questionnaire's authors. A total of 644 higher education students participated in the study. To test the questionnaire's structural validity and generalizability across cultures and educational levels, confirmatory factor and cross validation analyses were carried out. Besides, to test its predictive validity, a multiple linear regression analysis was carried out. Results showed that the data fit the model well, that the scales of the questionnaire have adequate reliability, and that negative self-regulation of stress and avoidance-oriented self-regulation related negatively and significantly to academic performance. The results support the emotion and motivation self-regulation model proposed by the authors.
