Achievement motivation influences self-regulatory strategies, affective processes, and achievement outcomes, but little is known about how individual differences in achievement motivation influence interpersonal behavior. Different forms of achievement motivation are likely to influence interpersonal behavior because achievement motives are grounded in social emotions. Two studies were conducted to examine relations between achievement motives and dispositional interpersonal problems. These studies linked deficits in pride-based need for achievement with self-reported submission-related interpersonal problems, and shame-based fear of failure (FF) with both self- and peer-reported interpersonal distress. The achievement motives were largely not associated with individuals' perceptions of their peers' interpersonal problems. These findings reinforce propositions that FF represents the commingling of achievement and relational concerns and suggest new mechanisms by which achievement motives may influence productivity, social success, and well-being.
成就动机影响自我调节策略、情感过程和成就结果，但对于成就动机的个体差异如何影响人际行为却知之甚少。不同形式的成就动机可能会影响人际行为，因为成就动机基于社会情感。进行了两项研究来检验成就动机与人际问题倾向之间的关系。这些研究将基于自豪感的成就需求不足与自我报告的与顺从相关的人际问题联系起来，将基于羞耻感的失败恐惧与自我报告和同伴报告的人际困扰联系起来。成就动机在很大程度上与个体对同伴人际问题的认知无关。这些发现强化了这样的观点，即失败恐惧代表了成就和关系问题的交织，并提出了成就动机可能影响生产力、社会成功和幸福感的新机制。
