Description

This study explored whether intrinsic and extrinsic motivation differed between first-generation college students (FGCS) and multi-generation college students (MGCS) and whether resilience explains any of these variations. We hypothesized that FGCS demonstrate higher intrinsic motivation with higher resilience. 56 participants (mostly White and Hispanic, biologically female, 35.7% FGCS and 64.3% MGCS) completed the survey. Neither intrinsic nor extrinsic motivation varied by generational status, which did not change when controlling for resilience. We concluded that demographically different populations would need different kinds of support for motivation and resilience.
