“…Previous research has made several attempts to assess implicit motives (Heckhausen 1963a, b;Heyns et al 1958;McClelland et al 1953;Veroff 1957). 1 In the following, we will describe the PSE, OMT, and MMG in detail because they fulfill the most important characteristics of an implicit motive measure (see above: implicit motive arousal through pictures and description of other persons instead of oneself), because they have often been used as implicit motive measures, and because they have been shown to predict operant behavior reliably.…”

Implicit motive research has shown that implicit motives are important predictors of behavior and well-being. However, little is known about the interrelationship between the different implicit motives measures frequently applied. We aimed to shed light on the convergent validity of three implicit motive measures and wanted to test their assumed statistical independence from three explicit motive measures. Therefore, we administered the picture story exercise (PSE), the operant motive test (OMT), and the multi-motive grid in one and the same study. As explicit measures, we used the personality research form, the motive enactment test, and a goal questionnaire. We investigated the statistical overlaps between all these measures (sample: 202 undergraduate students) and found that the implicit motive measures showed either no or only little correlation with each other. Furthermore, they also partly correlated with explicit motive measures. Supplementary analyses showed that the lack of statistical overlap between PSE and OMT can partly be ascribed to their different scoring systems.

“…Trata-se de um «teste de apercepção temática» (TAT) que consiste numa série de 4 a 6 figuras (Smith, 1992;Winter, 1992b), mostrando pessoas em situações ambí-guas, perante cada uma das quais é solicitado às pessoas que inventem uma história. Presume-se que estes relatos inventivos revelam os sonhos, fantasias e aspirações dos sujeitos, tendo sido desenvolvidos sistemas de codificação que permitem analisar o conteúdo de cada história e pontuá-la nos três motivos (McClelland et al, 1953;Heyns et al, 1958;Veroff, 1992a;Winter, 1992a).…”

Este artigo expõe o modo como foi desenvolvido e validado um instrumento de medida dos três motivos mais profusamente estudados por McClelland e seus colaboradores: sucesso, afiliação e poder. O estudo envolveu várias fases: a) foram recolhidos itens na literatura; b) elaborou-se um questionário contendo 58 escalas tipo Likert, de 7 pontos; c) este questionário foi aplicado a uma amostra composta por 243 indivíduos; d) por intermédio da análise factorial das componentes principais, procedeu-se a uma «depuração», donde resultou um questionário composto por 27 itens.Obteve-se uma estrutura factorial de três dimensões correspondentes aos três motivos mencionados. Os coeficientes Alfa de Cronbach cifram-se em valores superiores ao mínimo sugerido por Nunnally (1978). O instrumento emergente denota boas propriedades psicométricas, embora sejam necessários estudos adicionais de validação, designadamente recorrendo a análises factoriais confirmatórias, comparando perfis motivacionais de pessoas com diferentes opções profissionais, e estudando o poder explicativo dos motivos para o desempenho académico dos estudantes em diferentes níveis de dificuldade/desafio.

“…Affiliation motive is defined as a concern over establishing, maintaining, or restoring a positive affective relationship with another person or group of persons (Heyns, Veroff, & Atkinson, 1958). People with a high affiliation motive spend more time interacting with others and do so in a generally accommodating and cooperative manner (Koestner & McClelland, 1992).…”

Integrative complexity, the interaction of conceptual and cognitive rules, is used in processing information. High integrative complexity people evaluate situations and make decisions diversely; low integrative complexity people reason simplistically and dichotomously. We examined the social psychology of South/North Korean relations in their correspondence by an integrative complexity coding process. Time series analysis predicted mean levels of integrative complexity for each half-year period between 1984 and 1997. Analysis showed that South/North Korean relations exert significant influence on integrative complexity levels. We also found a mutual effect of integrative complexity levels in the two. Major coordinative events relate to a decline in integrative complexity in the following half-year period. During South Korean presidential elections, correspondence integrative complexity levels decline in both.
