Popis: Thisquantitative study investigated different motivational orientations (e.g.intrinsic/extrinsic and approach/avoidance) held by counseling graduatestudents in relation to their level of education (e.g. master’s and doctoral),and in relation to non-counseling graduate students. Using two well-validatedmeasures of motivation -The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS, Vallerand, Pelletier, Blais, Briere, Senecal,& Vallieres,1992) and Achievement Goal Questionnaire- Revised (AGQ-R, Elliot & Murayama, 2008), data were collected from graduate students (N= 205) enrolled in U.S. highereducation institutions. The findings revealed that counseling graduate studentsmore frequently experience intrinsic and performance-approach motivation, andtheir motivational orientations vary based on their level of education.Finally, the study addresses some of its limitations and recommendations forfuture research based upon the results.
