Implicit and Self‐Attributed Achievement Motives: Concordance and Predictive Validity
Abstract
ABSTRACT As a complement to the literature on the discriminant validity of implicit and self‐attributed motives, this study explored two issues that point to convergences: moderation of concordance between implicit and self‐attributed achievement motives, and the role of the two types of motive as antecedents of achievement goals. Significant positive correlations were found between implicit and self‐attributed need for achievement and between implicit and self‐attributed fear of failure. Individuals higher in self‐determination were more concordant in implicit and self‐attributed need for achievement. Implicit and self‐attributed achievement motives predicted achievement goals in a similar manner, and structural equation modeling yielded good fit for a conceptually parsimonious latent motive model. It is suggested that implicit and self‐attributed motives converge in some respects (yet diverge in others), and implications for theory are discussed.

“Second, concordance may vary as a function of methodological factors, such as the validity and comparability of the instruments that are selected (e.g., Sherwood, 1966; see Ajzen & Fishbein, 1977, for an analogue in the attitude literature).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
