本研究的目的是了解语义成就启动效应对行为的影响过程。我们从成就动机理论的角度对已有的模型进行了扩展，并在课本节选的运行文本中嵌入了成就启动，以模拟更自然的启动条件。具体而言，我们提出了成就启动对内隐成就动机的影响，并对这一命题进行了先导实验和3个主要实验的探索。我们发现成就启动对内隐成就动机没有可靠的正向影响。根据这些发现，我们检验了成就素数是否会影响外显(而不是内隐)成就动机，并发现情况的确如此。在最后的实验中，我们发现支持这样的假设，即较高的外显成就动机意味着成就启动会影响结果预期。我们讨论了这些结果的含义，我们得出结论，素数通过提高外显成就动机和结果期望来影响成就行为。
The aim of our research was to understand the processes of the prime-to-behavior effects with semantic achievement primes. We extended existing models with a perspective from achievement motivation theory and additionally used achievement primes embedded in the running text of excerpts of school textbooks to simulate a more natural priming condition. Specifically, we proposed that achievement primes affect implicit achievement motivation and conducted pilot experiments and 3 main experiments to explore this proposition. We found no reliable positive effect of achievement primes on implicit achievement motivation. In light of these findings, we tested whether explicit (instead of implicit) achievement motivation is affected by achievement primes and found this to be the case. In the final experiment, we found support for the assumption that higher explicit achievement motivation implies that achievement priming affects the outcome expectations. The implications of the results are discussed, and we conclude that primes affect achievement behavior by heightening explicit achievement motivation and outcome expectancies.
