This study explored the relationship between dominance-achievement motivation and psychological adjustment of 53 patients after their first myocardial infarction. These two motivations are perceived as expressions of general tendency to "agency," or assertiveness. The following findings were observed: (1) High-agency subjects reported less depressive moods than low-agency subjects; there was no time effect on this difference between groups nor within each group separately. (2) the self-esteem of high-agency patients was high and stable, whereas that of low-agency subjects was lower and got lower with time. It may be concluded that patients with a high-agency level might be more efficiently equipped to cope with stressful events.
本研究探讨了53例首次心肌梗死后患者的支配-成就动机与心理调适之间的关系。这两种动机被视为“能动”或自信这一总体倾向的表现形式。观察到以下结果：（1）高能动组患者报告的抑郁情绪低于低能动组患者；组间差异及各组内差异均不存在时间效应。（2）高能动组患者的自尊较高且稳定，而低能动组患者的自尊较低且随时间推移而降低。可以得出结论，高能动水平的患者可能更有能力有效应对压力事件。
