Pekrun, Reinhard; Hall, Nathan C.; Goetz, Thomas; Perry, Raymond P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
A theoretical model linking boredom and academic achievement is proposed.

Data from a longitudinal study with college students (N = 424) were used to examine the hypothesized effects. The…

Goetz, Thomas; Hall, Nathan C.; Frenzel, Anne C.; Pekrun, Reinhard – Learning and Instruction, 2006
The focus of the present study is on students' experiences of enjoyment, an emotion largely neglected in educational research. We present a model in which specific levels of generalization of the construct of enjoyment are differentiated. Based on their extent of generalization, these differentiated constructs of enjoyment are located in a…
