“…The motive dispositions are understood as the energy source of achievement in this model. Gabler (1981) determined that high hope for success and low fear of failure are important prerequisites for keeping up athletic training over a longer period of time. According to Elliot and Church the component hope for success can lead to a task orientation (mastery goal) or to an approaching ego orientation (performance approach goal).…”

This paper examines the test-control criteria of the Achievement Motives Scale-Sport (Elbe, 2002), a new instrument for measuring the sport-specific achievement motives. The theoretically based two-factor structure (hope for success and fear of failure) can be proven in the German and almost completely in the English version. The internal consistencies are above .90 in both versions and reveal homogeneity for both scales. The retest reliability also shows acceptable values for the German version. The validity can be shown by means of a behavioral external criterion (team-handball throwing game) based on Atkinson's risk-taking model (1957; 1958). Results show that people with high net hope, who are primarily motivated by their hope for success, prefer realistic tasks with 50% probability of success; whereas people with low net hope, who are more motivated by their fear of failure, choose unrealistic or safe tasks. Validity is additionally shown by significant correlations with the Sport Orientation Questionnaire (Elbe, 2001;Gill & Deeter, 1988) as well as the German version of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (Rethorst & Wehrmann, 1998) as proposed by Elliot and Church's (1997) hierachical model of approach and avoidance achievement motivation. Furthermore, the AMS-Sport is able to differentiate between competitive and noncompetitive athletes revealing further construct validity.

“…The result of the higher fear of failure is not consistent with the results in Western elite athletes (Elbe & Wenhold, 2005) and is also interesting in light of Thomassen and Halvari's (1996) findings that a strongly developed fear of failure correlates negatively with athletic success and with the involvement in sport. They are also not in line with Gabler (1981), who determined that the lower the hope for success and the higher the fear of failure, the more likely a cessation or reduction of athletic training will occur.…”
