  • 摘要:A university’s presentation of its programs to the public should provide potential students with information about what they can expect as students at that university. However, it is largely unclear what kind of self-presentation affects different applicants and their commitment. In a laboratory experiment with iN /i= 116 participants, we examined the emotional, behavioral and cognitive impact of a university’s self-presentation (either emphasizing chances for students or emphasizing their obligations) on student engagement. We also measured the participants’ regulatory focus (promotion and prevention focus). We found interaction effects of the university’s self-presentation and participants’ promotion and prevention focus on student engagement. There was a regulatory fit for promotion focus in the chances condition for emotions and behavior. There was also a regulatory fit for prevention focus in the obligations condition for cognitive processes. We conclude that universities should dedicate time and effort to creating a clear presentation of their offerings in the implementation of digital learning environments.
