Abstract: It is fully noted by educational psychologist and researcher in the world of academia that a problem exists throughout the nation to motivate high school students in the classroom. The reality is that a large number of high school students across America lack academic motivation (Snyder & Hoffman, 2002). There has not been a plethora of reasons why many students neglect their studies. It is an earnest desire to further investigate with a deeper understanding why students lack motivation. The purpose of this study is two-fold: (1) to fundamentally validate the structure of academic amotivation, (2) to investigate the social antecedents and academic consequences of motivational deficits. The aim of this study is to enable the reader to identify factors that give rise to academic Amotivation among high school students.
