Toward the Definition of a Domain of Academic Motivation
Doyle, Kenneth O., Jr.; Moen, Ross E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 2, 231-6, Apr 78
Factor analyses of a 75-item self-report Academic Motivations Inventory produced a set of nine interpretable dimensions which partially summarize an academic motivation domain and which can be measured with adequate reliability. The factors are discussed in relation to prior studies of the structure of academic motivation, and further research is recommended. (Author/JAC)
