Abstract | Many Indigenous people worldwide are more disadvantaged compared with their non-Indigenous peers. Australian Indigenous people have been identified as one of the most disadvantaged groups in the world. Consistent with positive psychology approaches, motivational constructs have been identified for non-Indigenous students from diverse cultural backgrounds as critical psychological drivers that facilitate desirable educational outcomes and life opportunities beyond schooling. However, due to limited empirical research with Indigenous populations, less is known about the role of motivational constructs for this population. This article explores the importance of motivational constructs for Indigenous populations with a focus on Indigenous Australian students. |
