Yeager, Joseph; Sommer, Linda – Qualitative Report, 2007
Combining psycholinguistic technologies and systems analysis created advances in motivational profiling and numerous new behavioral engineering applications. These advances leapfrog many mainstream statistical research methods, producing superior research results via cause-effect language mechanisms. Entire industries explore motives ranging from…

Yeager, Joseph; Sommer, Linda – Qualitative Report, 2007
Selecting a statistical framework for a behavioral study has profoundly different results than does a linguistically framed research strategy. The linguistic strategy overcomes many limitations inherent in statistical strategies and offers more meaningful results.

Written and spoken language contains inherent mechanisms driving motivation. Accessing and modifying psycholinguistic mechanisms, links language frames to changes in behavior within the context of motivational profiling. For example, holding an object like an imported apple feels safe until one is informed it was grown in a toxic waste dump.…

Damm, John T.; Bloxom, Anne – 1971
The effects of two social contexts on the risk -taking behavior of elementary boys on a shuffleboard task were investigated. It was predicted that Atkinson's motive-probability-incentive (M-P-I) model would be supported in the peer-competitive context, in that the success-oriented subjects would choose more goals with median Ps values than the…

Duncan, Otis Dudley; And Others – 1968
To synthesize knowledge concerning factors which affect occupational achievement through a set of explicit models based upon the concept of the socioeconomic life cycle, six major bodies of data from various sources were collected and subjected to secondary analysis. A number of items of lesser scope were gleaned from additional sources for use in…
