Achievement motivation among Anglo-American and Hawaiian male physical activity participants: individual differences and social contextual factors
Article Abstract:
Hawaiian male weightlifters and their Anglo-American counterparts in Hawaii and on the mainland all defined positive and negative physical-activity experiences through task and ego goal orientations and an interdependent perspective of the self. However, only the Hawaiians identified the weight-room environment, and individual differences in achievement goals, through an interdependence-based orientation. The Hawaiians also defined positive experiences as the demonstration of harmony and pride within an in-group.
