“…The concept of passion has a long history in both research and practice, yet only in the past decade has it gained extensive scholarly attention and development following the work of Vallerand and colleagues' (2003) Dualistic Model of Passion (e.g., Amiot, Vallerand, & Blanchard, 2006;Mageau, Vallerand, Rousseau, Ratelle, & Provencher, 2005;Omorede, Thorgren, & Wincent, 2013;Ratelle, Vallerand, Mageau, Rousseau, & Provencher, 2004;Vallerand & Houlfort, 2003).
