Running Head: REVISED ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVES SCALE A Revised 10-Item Version of The Achievement Motives Scale: Psychometric Properties in German-Speaking Samples
نویسنده
چکیده
The Achievement Motives Scale (AMS) is a well established and frequently used scale to assess hope of sucess and fear of failure. In 3 studies with German-speaking samples (N=3523, N=132, N=126), the authors developed a revised form of the AMS using confirmatory factor analysis. As found in previous research, the original 30-item set of the AMS did not provide an acceptable fit to a 2-factor model. In contrast, a revised 10-item version (AMS-R) provided an adequate fit to the theoretically intended 2-factor model. The adequate fit could be validated in cross-validation procedures. Furthermore, the revised scales provided adequate reliability, lower inter-scale correlations and criterion-related validity with respect to typical criteria of achievement-related behavior.
