Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 教育研究所 === 101 === The present study intends to set self-determination theory as a foundation to investigate the relationships among rationale, identified regulation, interest regulation, anchor and adaptive motivational engagement. The purposes of this study are: (a) to examine the goodness of fit between the rationale moderate process model proposed by the author and the observed data, and (b) to analyze the moderated effect of the department in rationale moderate process model. In order to fulfill these goals, the study was recruited two groups of samples. The first group including 91 students was used for the exploratory factor analysis of self-adapted scales and the reliability of all scales. The second group including 396 students was used for the confirmatory factor analysis of all scales and hypotheses testing in this study. All participants were sophomore and junior students from six colleges in South Taiwan. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Rationale Operated Condition, Identified Regulation Scale, Interest Regulation Scale, Anchor Scale, and Adaptive Motivational Engagement Scale. The statistical methods used to analyze the data were SEM. The results of this study were summarized as follows:
(1)The rationale moderate process model proposed by the author fitted the observed data well and could be used to explain the observed data of college students.
(2)The rationale moderate process model was moderated by the department. After confirming the direction, the students of categories of technology preferred to be more highly adaptive motivational engaged than the students of categories of humanities and society.
