초록

As students pursue multiple goals across the domains of their everyday lives, they inevitably experience motivational conflicts. They may feel like they would rather do something else or feel like they should be doing something else. The purpose of this study was to use an experience sampling method (ESM) to examine how students' real-time motivational conflict and emotional experiences differed across contexts. Fifty-seven undergraduate students provided 1,504 responses. Our findings revealed that: 1) motivational conflict experiences were prevalent in academic, social, and personal contexts; 2) motivational conflict and momentary emotions were dynamically intertwined; and 3) cost perceptions and motivational regulation can serve as potential person-level antecedents of motivational conflict experiences and momentary emotions. Our study highlights the importance of investigating in-situ motivational conflict and emotional experiences in both academic and nonacademic contexts.
