Description
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in academic motivation of college students by generational status and to explore whether this relationship varies by family influence. This study was conducted via an online survey, and participants were recruited from a small, religious liberal arts university in the pacific northwest. No significant associations were found between academic motivation and generational status. When considering family influence, there was a significant positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and values/beliefs. This suggests the potential impact of familial values/beliefs on academic motivation and seeking to better understand the implications of different cultural backgrounds.
