Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 2005.

Four studies explore the underpinning of academic motivation in students' social ties with others in school. In Studies 1--3, fostering connections between students and other people invested in an achievement domain improved their motivation. Students were led to feel optimistic about their prospects of forming ties to others in a field of study (Study 1), to feel they had a minimal relationship with a peer there (based on a shared birthday, Study 2), and to feel that they belonged to a minimal group associated with that field (Study 3). These manipulations generated large effects on students' motivation. They affected not only students' self-perceived belonging and academic potential, but also their freely chosen behavior as enacted in private (e.g., persistence on an insoluble academic puzzle). Study 4 extended the conceptual analysis to the academic underachievement of students from historically excluded ethnic groups. It evaluated an intervention that discouraged ethnic minority students from interpreting adverse social events as evidence of their lack of social connection to school. This intervention improved Black students' motivation and achievement (e.g., GPA). Discussion addresses the role of belonging concerns in motivation.
