Research Abstract

The present study first examined the effect of approach-avoidance motivation on attentional control, specifically, as regards cognitive flexibility and stability. Results implied that the influence of motivation on cognitive control would be shown in performance difference between congruent and incongruent trials. Second, this study standardized the Achievement Motive Scale (AMS) and confirmed its reliability and validity. Third, the study investigated the relationship between approach-avoidance motivation and AD/HD and did not find any significant relationship. Such investigation of younger children would be a future research topic.
