Abstract:
The current study tested a sequence of hypothesized relationships between the perceived peer-created learning environment, academic motivation, and indices of student functioning in a Higher Education setting. Utilizing a sample of 172 undergraduate psychology students, our findings revealed that a perceived peer autonomy supportive climate was a significant positive predictor of self-determined motivation. In turn, higher levels of self-determined motivation were strongly related with higher levels of engagement, and lower levels of burnout symptoms among the participants. Indirect effects were also found concerning the mediational role of self-determined motivation. The findings point towards the theoretical and practical significance of peer influence for fostering optimal academic motivation and healthy functioning among students in Higher Education.
