Negative Motivation Is Half the Story: Achievement Motivation Combines Positive and Negative Motivation.
Rand, Per; And Others
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v35 n1 p13-30 1991

Analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis indicate that positive achievement motivation made a difference. (SLD)
