Description of profile labels: Sample A: Profile 1 = low motivation; Profile 2 = self-determined with high introjected regulation; Profile 3 = self-determined with low introjected regulation; Profile 4 = self-determined motivation; Profile 5 = introjected and identified regulation; Profile 6 = amotivated and controlled motivation; Sample B : Profile 1 = low motivation; Profile 2 = self-determined and high introjected regulation; Profile 3 = self-determined and low introjected; Profile 4 = self-determined motivation; Profile 5 = extrinsic motivation; Profile 6 = amotivated
