Peer reviewed

Vollmeyer, Regina; Rheinberg, Falko – Learning and Instruction, 2000

Studied the relationships among motivation, persistence, and performance in a sample of 51 German college students. Path analysis showed that initial motivation influenced persistence but that the relationship between persistence and performance was disrupted because learners with more knowledge stopped sooner.

Achievement Motivation in High School: Contrasting Theoretical Models in the Classroom.

Peer reviewed

Garcia-Celay, I. Montero; Tapia, J. Alonso – Learning and Instruction, 1992

Elliott offers a better explanation of the relationships among achievement motivation, attributions, emotional reactions, expectancies, and performance than do the other models. (SLD)
