  1. Abbreviations: Dim = dimension
  2. *p < 0.05 A Post-hoc analysis with Bonferroni-correction for multiple testing revealed that 2nd years´ levels of identified motivation and levels of autonomous regulation was significantly higher than 3rd and 4th year students (p < .000). B Furthermore, 1st year students were significantly higher on identified levels of motivation than 4th year students (p < .000). AS-NTS scores of 4th year students were significantly better than first year students on all three dimensions and on the sum score (p = .023; .023; .001; .001)
