Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study is to examine Chinese/Canadians' motivations for everyday activities and to determine whether they vary as hypothesized. Study participants (N = 35) completed a diary seven times a day for 12 days when a randomly scheduled watch alarm rang. Participants indicated what activity they were doing and rated, using self-determination theory-based items, what their motivations were for doing the activity. Analyses indicated that: (a) leisure was more intrinsically motivated than work-related, unpaid work, and self-care activities; (b) work-related activities were more introjected and externally motivated than the three other types of activities; (c) watching television was more intrinsically motivated and amotivated than socializing and other passive leisure activities; and (d) socializing was more externally motivated than the three other types of leisure activities.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
