  text: Internet-based self-assessments (ISAs) are tools used to support finding the
    right educational fit for higher education (HE) students. ISAs typically consist
    of a questionnaire followed by a feedback report about the results. It is unknown
    how the characteristics of the feedback report itself affect individuals’ acceptance
    and motivation to follow the advice from the report. Literature on feedback in
    general has suggested relationships between acceptance of feedback and motivation,
    feedback sign (positive versus negative) and regulatory focus (promotion focus
    versus prevention focus), influence acceptance and the motivation to develop.
    To investigate if these findings are transferable to the context of ISAs, we conducted
    an online study with N = 249 German university students (73% female; M = 22.84
    years of age (SD = 3.73)) and a bogus self-assessment. Feedback sign was manipulated
    randomly, and the regulatory focus was measured by values. Regression analyses
    indicate a positive effect of positive feedback sign, but no differences regarding
    regulatory focus.
