Questionnaire for Assessing Students' Motives for Participation in Activities Test

motivationpersonality orientation

This brief self-report measure is used to quickly clarify what drives students to participate in school-related activities. The Questionnaire for Assessing Students' Motives for Participation in Activities helps characterize patterns of motivation that may inform educational planning and individualized supports.

The instrument includes 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse statements reflecting reasons for involvement, supporting a clinically informed understanding of whether participation is primarily guided by group affiliation, personal goals and development, or desire for recognition and status.

Results from the Questionnaire for Assessing Students' Motives for Participation in Activities can be used by school psychologists, counselors, and educators to guide motivational strategies, support selection of extracurricular or classroom roles, and tailor approaches to engagement. The measure is attributed to Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan.
