The purpose of present study was to find the relationship between
dimensions of Academic Motivation including Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic
Motivation and A-motivation among adolescents as well as investigated the
gender differences present among adolescents related to Academic Motivation.
Convenient sampling was used for the selection of the research sample. The
sample of this study consisted of (N=160) college students. The age of
participants ranged from 16-20 years. Informed consent was taken from the
participants before filling the questionnaires. The research protocols were
administered to the participants along with verbal instructions. They included
demographic sheet and Academic Motivation Scale (college version). The data
from this method was tabulated to conclude the results of the research using
SPSS software. Reliability analysis, Correlation, t test and manova were used
to test hypotheses of the study. Data was statistically analyzed by statistical
package for social sciences (SPSS23 V). The results show that Intrinsic Motivation
and Extrinsic Motivation are positively correlated with each other whereas
A-motivation is negatively correlated with Intrinsic Motivation as well as with
Extrinsic Motivation. Results further indicated that male adolescents have
significantly low rates of Intrinsic Motivation as compared to female
adolescents. Similarly, male adolescents are lower in Extrinsic Motivation as
compared to female adolescents. Whereas male adolescents rate higher in
A-motivation as compared to female adolescents. The results concluded that
interaction among gender and education of the sample was significant on
intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. When Gender and level of
education are interacted, they significantly influence the rates of intrinsic
motivation and extrinsic motivation.
