This study aimed at testing the relations among parents autonomy support, basic psychological needs, autonomous motivation and elementary students academic emotions, and to further explore the relationship between the various variables. The sample consisted of 602 sixth graders from 24 classrooms in Tainan City. The first group included 167 students to test exploratory factor analysis and the second group consisted of 435 students to test the model fit of the research model in this study. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling analysis. Results indicated that (a) the research model constructed in this study can be used to accurately explain the empirically observed data. (b) The results also support the hypotheses of this study, i.e., parents autonomy support perceived by elementary school students had a direct effect on basic psychological needs, basic psychological needs had a direct effect on autonomous motivation, and autonomous motivation had a positive effect on positive academic emotions, and a negative effect on negative academic emotions. Based on the findings of this study, we discuss the implications and propose suggestions for elementary school teaching and future research. |
