Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Task-involved students are those who are motivated by the learning process itself and are likely to choose tasks that help them learn, regardless of the difficulty. Ego-involved students are motivated by proving their ability and are more likely to choose tasks they believe they will perform well in to maintain a positive self-image. Both groups, when they believe they will perform well, exhibit effort and persistence, choose moderately difficult tasks, have high perceptions of control, and experience positive affect.
