Positive Results

The TAT-Z, a projection test for Black males, is investigated for predicting achievement motivation in the employment situation. Positive results are reported on 3 of the 10 cards (nos. 4, 6 and 9) of the TAT-Z. Recommendations are made for improving the TAT-Z to provide more information on achievement motivation.OpsommingDie gebruik van die TAT-Z, 'n projeksietoets vir Swartmans, word ondersoek om prestasiemotivering veral tydens die indiensnemingsituasie te voorspel. Positiewe resultate is op 3 van die 10 kaarte (nrs. 4, 6 en 9) van die TAT-Z verkry. Aanbevelings word gemaak aangaande die aanpassing van hierdie projeksietoets ten einde meer inligting oor prestasiemotivering, bloot te lê.

Abstract. The current study investigates the behavior of task-specific, current achievement motivation (CAM: interest in the task, probability of success, perceived challenge, and fear of failure) across a variety of reasoning tasks featuring verbal, numerical, and figural content. CAM is conceptualized as a state-like variable, and in order to assess the relative stability of the four CAM variables across different tasks, latent state trait analyses are conducted. The major findings indicate that the degree of challenge a test taker experiences and the fear of failing a given task appear to be relatively stable regardless of the specific task utilized, whereas interest and probability of success are more directly influenced by task-specific characteristics and demands. Furthermore, task performance is related to task-specific interest and probability of success. We discuss the implications and benefits of these results with regard to the use of cognitive ability tests in general. Importantly, taking motivational differences between test takers into account appears to offer valuable information which helps to explain differences in task performance.
