  • The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) identifies types of motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) via questions concerning the regulation of a particular behavior or class of behaviors.

    “The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) identifies types of motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) via questions concerning the regulation of a particular behavior (e.g., exercising regularly) or class of behaviors (e.g., engaging in religious behaviors) (Ryan and Connell, 1989).”

  • PISA has documented sex differences in reading achievement: in France in 2015, boys' reading performance was 29 points lower than girls', with other OCDE countries showing the same trend (27 point mean difference).

    “The Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) has now well documented sex differences in reading achievement: in France in 2015, boys' reading performance was 29 points lower than girls', with other OCDE countries showing the same trend (27 point mean difference) [34].”
  • Autonomous motivations and the corresponding behaviors are primarily intrinsic in nature and, consequently, reflective of and congruent with one's values, desired self, goals, and aspirations.

    “Autonomous motivations and the corresponding behaviors are primarily intrinsic in nature (Weinstein & Ryan, 2010) and, consequently, reflective of and congruent with one's values, desired self, goals, and aspirations (Leary et al., 2019; Ryan & Connell, 1989).”
  • With boring tasks, the critical theoretical issue is how to facilitate internalization of the regulation of such tasks if they are deemed important within the social environment.

    “with boring tasks, the critical theoretical issue is how to facilitate internalization of the regulation of such tasks if they .are deemed important within the social environment”
  • Controlling aspects of the social environment can be effective in producing behaviors but are quite ineffective in promoting self-regulation.

    “Although aspects of the social environment that tend to be controlling can be effective in producing behaviors, they are quite ineffective in promoting self-regulation.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
