Marjo Turunen

-> Research focus: motivation

-> Motivation is dynamic and fluctuates depending on situational factors

-> Situated Expectancy-Value Theory (SEVT)

-> Aim: was to investigate temporal changes in students' motivatin

-> Motivation is not only intrinsic or extrinsic - it is an umbrella concept which is studied more specifically

General motivational beliefs = its a general belief, e.g "what motivates you when studying chemistry", 

Situational self reports = its more specified, e.g "how do you think you will succed in this task", referring to a specific situation, moment 

-> Stimulated recall interview = its a method where a stimulus is given before asking questions e.g a student watches a video of themselves doing a task and then questions are asked upon that
