“…Because researchers must interpret the content of the stories, this leads to PSE being a tool dependent on the researcher’s perspective and the coders’ opinion (Schäpers et al , 2021). In response to these ambiguities, researchers of implicit motivations have standardized and developed PSE implementation methods, published detailed and detailed scoring guides, provided detailed instructions for how to use this test and provided many documents to familiarize researchers with the technique of scoring motivational images (Müller et al , 2021; Pang and Schultheiss, 2005). One of the essential validity criteria of the tool for measuring latent motivations is its sensitivity to eliciting motivations, which has been the focus of researchers in the early stages of developing PSE scoring systems.…”

Purpose The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the picture story exercise (PSE), a tool for measuring implicit motivations in Iran. Design/methodology/approach The research method is descriptive correlation and was conducted in two studies. In the first study 24 psychology master’s students were selected by convenience sampling method and tested them to check retest and inter-coder reliability. The second study investigated the correlation between self-reports and the PSE test on a sample of managers. Its statistical population comprised all the managers of a refinery company, 50 people were selected by convenience sampling method. To check the concurrent validity of the PSE test, the participants of the second study, completing the PSE, also completed the needs questionnaire of Steers and Porter (1979). Findings The findings showed that the PSE test in the Iranian sample had high retest reliability (0.62 on mean) and inter-coder reliability (0.87 on mean), and, following previous research, it does not show a significant relationship with self-reported motives. Practical implications PSE can be used in future research as a tool that has demonstrated its reliability and validity in the Iranian sample. Originality/value Measurement of implicit motives is a practical factor for predicting people’s behavior, the necessity of using tools that can accurately evaluate implicit motives is strongly felt. Taking into account the fact that so far, in Iranian samples, implicit motivations have not been measured, therefore, the current research is trying to answer this question, whether one of the most important and prominent tools that were made for this purpose and used in various studies can also be used in Iranian samples.

“…Specifically, coaches may introduce motive specific incentives in training sessions such that they are congruent with the motives of the individuals (a notion that has been previously proposed to boost self-regulation 68 ). That is, for individuals with a strong achievement motive situations that offer feedback about their own performance development might be most beneficial, whereas those with a strong power motive might excel in settings emphasizing inter-individual competition (examples for such manipulations targeting the fit of person and situation have already been reported in previous research 31,67 69 ). For example, training programs emphasizing goal setting and functional attributions offer the opportunity to systematically affect the fear and hope facets of the achievement motive.…”

On the relationship between individual differences in motives and motor performance

Motor performance is characterized by individual differences. Motive research posits that individual differences in motives (achievement, affiliation, power) predict what types of incentives individuals experience as motivating. It follows that in order to incentivize and optimize performance, models explaining determinants of such differences are integral to design appropriate interventions or training settings. Therefore, in the current study, we tested the utility of a motive-based approach in explaining motor performance differences in a competitive sports context. Specifically, we trained and assessed sport science students’ performance in a series of motor tasks (i.e., darts, beanbag throwing, golf putting) in small groups. Beforehand, students’ motives were assessed employing both projective and self-report measures. As hypothesized, students’ projectively measured power motive (and to a lesser extent achievement motive) showed a positive relationship to motor performance. In contrast, none of the self-reported motives were related to performance. These findings highlight the utility of the achievement and power motive in explaining individual differences in motor performance and suggest feasible intervention and training strategies.
