Publisher Summary This chapter attempts to adapt the telic dominance scale (TDS) to the phenomenological field of 12 year-old Dutch-speaking pupils. Reversal theorists claim that the metamotivational states identified in the theory should be seen as the reflection of alternative interpretations that a person can give to aspects of his or her environment. The result of this interpretation process is visualized as an individual's attunement to one of two possible wavelengths. At any given moment an individual is more likely to be switched on to one of these wavelengths. This degree of dominance of one metamotivational state over the other can be measured by the TDS. The dominance pattern revealed by the TDS is regarded by Apter and his co-workers as a relatively stable characteristic of the individual. Telic dominance is measured by means of a forced-choice measurement technique and by means of an attractiveness indication of both the telic and the paratelic alternatives. Pupils appraise learning situations differently and that their motivation and commitment is at variance. The N-TDS with its forced-choice and Likert-type scoring system offers an opportunity to tease out the differential effect of (1) commitment reflected in choice of action and (2) commitment reflected in involvement, attractiveness, and challenge appraisals. |
