Effects of positive education approach on academic boredom, intrinsic motivation, positive emotions and thought-action repertoire among private college students in Shaanxi Province... by Jie, Zheng

“…There were no statistically significant differences in the mean scores of LRB, CRB, IM, PE, and TAR from pre-test to post-test (p .01); the PEA was much better than the TEA in reducing students’ academic boredom (LRB, CRB) and improving their wellbeing (PE, TAR) as well as academic success (IM) (p .01). An examination of the mean scores indicated a significantly lower level of LRB in the experimental group (M=22.00, SD=7.59) than in the control group (M=31.11, SD=8.28) (p .01); a significantly lower level of CRB in the experimental group (M=21.14, SD=7.24) than in the control group (M=31.17, SD=9.40) (p .01); a significantly higher level of IM in the experimental group (M=62.52, SD=12.07) than in the control group (M=54.30, SD=14.35) (p .01); a significantly higher level of PE in the experimental group (M=28.43, SD=6.29) than in the control group (M=25.51, SD=5.41) (p .01); a significantly higher level of TAR in the experimental group (M=9.27, SD=5.70) than in the control group (M=5.48, SD=4.01) (p .01). …”
