Motivation, Self-attitude and Control Locus of Senior Schoolchildren

Correlation of motivation parameters (of motivation profile) of the educational activities with the control locus (profile according to the types of social situations) and the self-attitude parameters have been researched considering the sex of senior schoolchildren. For the entire sample group, we reveal a correlation of the general internal with the educational-and-cognitive motivation and the motivation of social responsibility, and the internal in the field of family relations – with the motivation of affiliation. For girls with the educational-and-cognitive motivation, we reveal an additional correlation with the internal in the field of family relations, and for boys with the educational-and-cognitive motivation – with the internal in the field of achievements and production (educational) relations. One can see for the entire sample group (including girls and boys separately) a correlation between the motivation of social responsibility with sociability, proneness to criticism and internal honesty in self-attitude.
