Description of activity
My research links the study of motivation with well-being and explores both among children and young people. In my Academy Research Fellow project (2022–2027), the main objective is to examine the developmental and situational dynamics between students’ motivation, perfectionism, and academic well-being across upper secondary education, and to consider the role of student welfare in supporting students’ learning and well-being. My teaching is mostly related to educational psychology, quantitative research methods, and Master's and PhD theses supervision.
