- Abstract
- Correlation between motivation to learn and assessment of educational interaction's justice and social beliefs are examined. This study explores the relation between social beliefs, organizational justice evaluation and learning motivation. It was hypothesized that the higher students assess the justice of treatment with them and the lower their dangerous world and competitive world beliefs are the higher intrinsic motivation to learn will be. Therewith the influence of social beliefs is mediated by the educational justice evaluation. Participants were 895 students of the 1-st and the 4-th year from four Russian universities (54% female, M age = 19, SD age = 1.64). Three methods - measurement of belief in dangerous and competitive world; assessment of justice in conducting difficult credit/exam; motivation to learn in the university - were used in the research. They completed the Dangerous World Beliefs Scale, Jungle World Beliefs Scale, Organizational Justice Scale and Academic Motivation Scale.The results partly support hypotheses and demonstrate that the procedural justice evaluation moderates correlation between social beliefs and learning motivation.
