Abstract

The complex associations and the stability of different motivational constructs lead to the next step of exploration of the stability of motivation at the group and gender levels. In other words, the stability of the means of motivation and engagement for the whole group, and for boys and girls separately in the final two years of college, are investigated in this chapter. Different students experienced different levels of motivational cognitions and behaviors. Although boys and girls were similar on many aspects, boys reported higher levels of disengagement, while girls reported higher levels of anxiety.
