This study examined the construct validity of the Academic Motivation Scale. Specifically, subscale correlations were examined to assess whether support for a continuum of self-determination would be provided. The three types of Intrinsic Motivation were significantly and positively correlated with each other .67, .62, and .58, while the three types of Extrinsic Motivation were significantly and positively intercorrelated .50, .49, and .45. The former subscales, however, correlated higher with Introjected Regulation than Identified Regulation, suggesting that Introjected Regulation may be indicative of more self-determined behavior than has previously been believed. Also, the Intrinsic Motivation To Accomplish subscale had a stronger relationship with two of the Extrinsic Motivation subscales, Identified Regulation and Introjected Regulation, than did the Extrinsic Motivation subscales with each other. This suggests that the differences between Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation are not as obvious as has been believed. Also, contrary to self-determination theory, Amotivation had a stronger negative correlation with Identified Regulation (r = -.31) than with any of the Intrinsic Motivation subscales (rs = -.27, -.19, and -.11).
本研究考察了学业动机量表的结构效度。具体而言，对分量表之间的相关性进行了检验，以评估是否能为自我决定的连续性提供支持。三种类型的内在动机彼此之间的显著正相关系数分别为.67、.62和.58，而三种类型的外在动机之间的显著正相关系数分别为.50、.49和.45。然而，前几个分量表与内摄调节的相关性高于认同调节，这表明内摄调节可能比之前认为的更能体现自我决定行为。此外，“为完成任务的内在动机”分量表与两个外在动机分量表（认同调节和内摄调节）的关系，比外在动机分量表彼此之间的关系更强。这表明外在动机和内在动机之间的差异并不像人们认为的那么明显。此外，与自我决定理论相反，无动机与认同调节的负相关（r = -.31）比与任何内在动机分量表的负相关（r = -.27、-.19和-.11）更强。
