Abstract
This study investigates the intricate relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, flow experiences, and academic performance among 554 University of Groningen psychology students. The findings underscore the crucial role of student engagement, characterized by intrinsic motivation in shaping academic success. Specifically, a significant positive correlation is observed between intrinsic motivation and GPA, highlighting the importance of students' sincere interest and commitment to their studies. Moreover, flow experiences during studying positively correlate with GPA, emphasizing the necessity of creating conducive learning environments that foster students' engagement and absorption in their academic tasks. Further analysis reveals the partial mediation of the relationship between intrinsic motivation and GPA by flow experiences. Notably, extrinsic motivation demonstrates no significant correlation with GPA, suggesting that external rewards or pressures may not directly influence academic achievement. Future research should explore additional moderators and mediators of motivation and academic performance relationships, considering individual differences and contextual factors. Longitudinal and cross-cultural studies can offer insights into the long-term effects and cultural variability of motivational processes, enhancing our understanding of student success. Keywords: motivation, flow experience, academic performance, university students, GPA
