Factors Associated with Students' Academic Motivation in Agricultural Economics Classes
研究德州农工、普渡和佛罗里达大学本科生发现，认为成绩有助于职业成功的学生学业动机更强；电子娱乐、社交和工作时间与动机负相关，女生动机更高。
A study of undergraduates at Texas A&M University, Purdue University, and the University of Florida reveals that students viewing grades as a contributor to career success tend to be more academically motivated. Several measures of academic motivation are examined by means of general linear and also nonlinear models. Electronic entertainment, socializing, and time spent working are all negatively associated with academic motivation. Greater academic motivation exists among females. To the extent that additional work is needed for the support of increased tuition costs, students have the potential to be less academically motivated.
