Abstract: "Few studies have examined patterns of intrinsic motivation in people's day to day lives, when they are free to choose from a virtually limitless range of activities. The present study was correlational and examined (1) what activities high school students pursue outside of school, (2) the relationship between out-of-school activities and in-school achievement, and (3) the pattern of motivation associated with out-of-school activities and in-school achievement. Motivation was examined using constructs of intrinsic intellectual motivation, self-efficacy, and goals. Subjects were 159 students in 2 Silicon Valley public high schools. The students were ethnically diverse and largely middle class. All subjects filled out a questionnaire; then 66 were randomly selected and personally interviewed. |
