Description
In this Video Abstract Dr. Zoe Smith, Assistant Professor at Loyola University Chicago, talks about her JCPP paper ‘Academic motivation decreases across adolescence for youth with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Effects of motivation on academic success’. This longitudinal study examined growth trajectories of academic motivation in youth with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across the important developmental transition from middle school to high school, and associations with academic success. Consistent with self-determination theory (SDT) of motivation, trajectories of amotivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation were modelled.

1. An overview of the self-determination theory of motivation.
2. Discover how motivation presents in young people with ADHD and how this may differ from youth without ADHD.
3. Find out the interventions that are known to foster autonomy growth in young people with ADHD.
