Relationships among Four Measures of Achievement Motivation
Wotruba, Thomas R.; Price, Karl F.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 35, 4, 911-14, Win 75

The results lend support to past findings; namely, that the various achievement measures would appear to be measuring dissimilar constructs. (Author/BJG)
