Identifying academic motivation profiles and their association with mental health in medical school

CONCLUSION: Our results provide means to position medical students on the SDT continuum based on 'Low', 'Moderate', or 'High' levels of self-determination toward their studies. These AM profiles predict the mental health of medical freshmen, which supports the validity of the outcomes and highlight the risks of amotivation for psychological morbidity. The limitations and implications are discussed.PMID:37535843 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2023.2242597
