Description
Summary:Gaston-Gayles seek to examine motivation as a nontraditional measure through the development of a scale to assess academic and athletic motivation. He learns that failure-avoiders (those motivated to avoid failure but unmotivated to strive for success) and failure-acceptors (those unmotivated to avoid failure and strive for success) were more committed to the athletic role than success-oriented athletes (those motivated to strive for success) and overstrivers (those motivated to strive for success and avoid failure).
