Risk Taking and Academic Success and Their Relation to an Objective Measure of Achievement Motivation1
Year: 1964
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT Two studies using an objective test of Achievement Motivation with high school Ss indicated that the test was able to reproduce the results typically found with projective measures. One was a correlational study dealing with problems of academic achievement while the other was a laboratory study that focused on competitive risk taking. These data seemed to support the proposition that objective tests of achievement motivation may be possible.
