Achievement Motivation

David McClelland Boston University Harvard Achievement motivation Need to achieve nAch

Personality assessment Projective Test Present subjects with an ambiguous stimulus and ask them to describe it or tell a story about it.

Thematic Apperception Test Who are the persons? What is happening? What led up to situation? What is being thought or wanted? By whom? What will happen? What will be done?

McClelland’s methodology Subjects shown 4-6 pictures. Not from the TAT. People involved in tasks. Ex: Two men working on a machine. View for 20 second each. Write a story about each picture.

Write a story based on questions: Who is the person? What is happening? What led up to situation? What is being thought or wanted? What will happen? What will be done?

Story content with high nAch Main character Ambitious Making plans to forge ahead Attempting to reach a goal

Stories low in nAch Main character Yielding to pressure Failing in endeavors Avoiding responsibility

Motivating force In people with high nACh Pleasure in success Confident of abilities Experienced success Sets realistic goals

For people low in nAch Motivating force is fear of failure Long history of experiencing failure Afraid of ridicule and dissapointment

nAch and risk-taking What kind of risk- taker is Santa? Getting all the wreaths onto the north pole? Moderate risk-taker. Chose a task of intermediate difficulty. High in nAch.

Person with low nAch Might pick a task that was too difficult. Should we expect success? Not blame him if he fails. Didn’t expect him to succeed.

Children with ring toss High nAch children picked middle distance. Challenge but not impossible. Low nAch picked long distances (couldn’t win). Or near distances (couldn’t lose).

Parenting styles Parents who reward self-control and independence  child with high nAch Set high standards Child works at own level Makes mistakes Encourage good performance

Parents of low achievers Set impossibly high standards. Punish child when he or she doesn’t achieve goal. Or jump in and solve the problem. Parent’s actions don’t encourage self-control. Child begins to fear failure.

Applications of nAch McClelland interested in applications to business and global economy. Business executives had higher nAch than men in other occupations. Particularly real estate and investments.

Historical studies McClelland in his later years extended theory. Industrial revolution  preceded by surge in achievement themes in literature. Interesting theories but not scientific.

Cognitive Choice Theory Richard Atkinson Based on McClelland’s ideas. We all balance need to achieve with fear of failure. Different aspects of our life. Install new motherboard in my computer. Build a deck in my backyard.

Prepare for exam Need to achieve vs fear of Failure. nAch > fF  approach behavior. Looking forward to success. Positive frame. Good outlook.

Negative frame fF > nAch  avoidance behavior. May work hard to prepare. Tense and anxious frame of mind. Bad outlook.

Attribution theory Bernard Weiner Attribution: things happen for a reason. What reason do you give for success or failure? Your frame of mind makes a huge difference.

Positive frame (high nAch) Attribute success: Own ability or effort. Attribute failure: Lack of effort. Try harder next time.

Negative frame (low nAch) Attribute success: Easy test. Lucky break. Attribute failure: Lack of ability. Same outcome next time.

Locus of Control Positive frame has internal locus of control. Intrinsic motivation. Negative frame has external locus of control. Extrinsic motivation.

Overcoming negative frame Learning optimism. Math anxiety. Start out with easy task. Learn to value success. External reward at first. Internalize the motivation with continued success.
