Murayama and Jach claim that current motivational constructs do not specify causal processes () and that solve this problem. We argue, process-focused research requires theoretical frameworks addressing situational variations, individual differences, and their interaction. Classic achievement motivation theory provides comprehensive models with empirically measurable process-related constructs and predictions. Recent developments build on this, addressing motivation, action, and their socio-cultural and lifespan context. Theory-free cannot do any of that.
村山和贾赫声称，当前的动机结构并未明确因果过程（），且 解决了这个问题。我们认为，以过程为重点的研究需要有解决情境变化、个体差异及其相互作用的理论框架。经典的成就动机理论提供了具有可实证测量的与过程相关的结构和预测的综合模型。最近的发展以此为基础，涉及动机、行动及其社会文化和生命历程背景。无理论的 无法做到其中任何一点。
