Student participants were administered thematic and questionnaire effort and choice related indexes, measurements on how variations motivate the behavior relations, and finally the participants receive feedback that help them to monitor their achievement when the processes are on. In other to simplify the author's analysis, they first outline the hypotheses for a task-focused setting and later specify how motives impact behavior in an ego-motivated scenery.
