成就动机、冒险倾向与控制源

Achievement Motives,Risk-taking and Locus of Control

对个体的控制源变量界定出两个维度 ,即内控和外控特征 ,并在此基础上分析控制源维度与个体成就动机和冒险倾向之间的关系。数据支持了这 3类变量之间存在明确关系的结论。虽然成就动机与冒险倾向都程度不同地与个体的控制源特征显著相关 ,但其相关的程度和方式上却存在一定的差异。控制源的两个维度与成就动机的两个倾向之间存在互为因果的关系 ,并且从内控和外控特征都能够鉴别个体争取成功和回避失败的两种倾向 ;控制源与冒险行为之间同样存在一定的关系 ,但相对而言要弱得多 ,而且只表现为内控特征与冒险倾向之间的对应关系 ,而外控特征并不具有鉴别作用。

The variables of the locus of control on individuals were defined in terms of internal\|control and external\|control.Based on these two dimensions,it analyzed the connections among the locus of control,the achievement motives and the risk\|taking.The data supported the conclusion that there existed explicit relationships among the three kinds of variables.Despite the fact that both achievement motives and risk\|taking tendency were notably related to the locus of control,the extent and the way of the correlation varied to some extent.There were mutual casualties between the two dimensions of the locus of control and the two tendencies of the achievement motives;moreover,from both the internal and the external dimensions,one might distinguish in individuals the two tendencies of seeking success and averting failure.As to the risk\|taking,certain correlation could also be observed between the locus of control and the risk\|taking;yet,the correlation was comparatively much weaker.The risk\|taking tendency only displayed some internal\|control characteristics,while the external\|control dimension told nothing about it.
