People's motivation to engage in cognitive effort is a variable which is relevant in different psychological domains (e.g., social cognition research). Despite its potential benefits, a psychometrically sound state measure of cognitive motivation is still lacking. We therefore developed the 10-item motivation for cognition (MFC) state scale based on the established conceptualization and measure of trait need for cognition (NFC). In two studies, we examined the psychometric properties of the new measure. Study 1 revealed that the MFC scale reliably measures a one-dimensional construct. Moreover, the MFC scale was related to NFC and choice of task effort in an expected manner. In Study 2, relationships with NFC, achievement motives, self-control capacity, subjective vitality, momentary affect, and choice of task effort provide further preliminary support for the MFC scale as being a valid measure of momentary cognitive motivation. We discuss the utility of the new scale in psychological research and practice.
人们投入认知努力的动机是一个在不同心理学领域（如社会认知研究）中都相关的变量。尽管其有潜在益处，但仍缺乏一种心理测量学上可靠的认知动机状态测量方法。因此，我们基于已确立的特质认知需求（NFC）概念化和测量方法，开发了一个包含10个条目的认知动机（MFC）状态量表。在两项研究中，我们检验了这一新测量方法的心理测量学特性。研究1表明，MFC量表能可靠地测量一个单维结构。此外，MFC量表与NFC以及任务努力的选择以预期方式相关。在研究2中，与NFC、成就动机、自我控制能力、主观活力、瞬间情绪以及任务努力选择之间的关系，为MFC量表作为瞬间认知动机的有效测量方法提供了进一步的初步支持。我们讨论了新量表在心理学研究和实践中的效用。
