摘要

Drawing on Ryan and Deci’s (“Step by Step”: Advances in motivation science (6). Elsevier Inc.:, Cambridge, MA, 2019) Causality Orientations Theory, we divided the 23 children in the CLIPS study into three groups. Within the Performance Orientation, we categorised GROUP (A) as Impersonal Performance Orientation, allied to a weak Sense of Agency and (B) as Controlled Performance Orientation, linked to a Sense of Restricted Agency. Within the Learning Orientation, we categorised GROUP (C) as Autonomous Learning Orientation, which was associated with a strong Sense of Agency. Using child-accessible language, we asked the 23 children in the CLIPS study to choose the one of these three that best represented them. In this chapter, we present the life-histories of all the children in each of the three groups. These were constructed by pulling together and interpreting all the data we collected for each child over the four years of the CLIPS project. Twelve children selected the Impersonal Performance Orientation. Their life-histories are presented in Sect. 6A: Abe, Harriet, Fin, Zeph, Gabriella, Michael, Mark, Jack, Laurie, Louise, Sam and Salah. Seven children chose the Controlled Performance Orientation, whose life-histories are provided in Sect. 6B: Gemma, Clara, Jon, Edith, Eden, Samiya and Ellie. Finally, in Sect. 6C, we present the life-histories of the four children who selected the Learning Autonomy Orientation: Musa, Rory, Santosh and Amin.
