Ahart Solutions is partnering with Pepperdine University to launch a national validation study of the Virtuous Motivation Survey in Spring 2025. We are currently recruiting additional university partners to join this collaborative research effort focused on character, motivation, and student flourishing.
We have invited NINE universities to participate in the validation of a new research instrument that assesses student motivation for virtuous action—a collaboration informed by self-determination theory (SDT) and character education.
This research seeks to close the moral–knowledge action gap—the phenomenon in which students may know the right thing but lack motivation to act on it. By understanding how autonomy, relatedness, and competence drive virtuous behavior, we aim to identify educational strategies that promote human flourishing and moral development during undergraduate years.
