Title: Examining the influence of motivation and engagement on psychological distress: A one-year follow-up study.

Subjects: Psychological distress, Motivation (Psychology), College students, Well-being, Prediction models
Abstract: Few would dispute the importance of motivation and engagement as predictors of students' psychological functioning at university. However, there are at least two key issues in this area: 1) Few studies embrace a validated, 'multidimensional' framework, for motivation and engagement; and 2) few studies in this area control for wellbeing outcomes at baseline. In this study, a sample of first-year university students (N = 71) completed measures of motivation and engagement as well as psychological distress in Year 1, and their psychological distress was measured again in Year 2, one year later. It was found that after controlling for age, gender, and psychological distress (Time 1), motivation and engagement was predictive of psychological distress one year later. The findings demonstrate the importance of motivation and engagement in predicting psychological functioning among university students over the course of their studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
