动机影响人们参与任务的程度以及他们所承担的过程。我们探讨的建议，一个人的情境引起的自我监管的重点和奖励结构的任务，他们正在追求支持更大的灵活性，在处理比监管重点和奖励结构之间的不匹配。在两个实验中，我们启动调节焦点和操纵任务奖励结构。我们的参与者执行一个基于规则的学习任务，其解决方案需要灵活的策略测试，以及灵活的策略使用阻碍学习的信息集成任务。在两个实验中，我们预测并获得了监管焦点、奖励结构和任务之间的三向相互作用。相对于不匹配，匹配导致更好的基于规则的任务性能，但信息整合任务的性能较差。我们将这些发现与其他关于动机和压力下窒息的工作联系起来。(C)2007爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Motivation affects the degree to which people engage in tasks as well as the processes that they bring to bear. We explore the proposal that a fit between a person's situationally induced self-regulatory focus and the reward structure of the task that they are pursuing supports greater flexibility in processing than does a mismatch between regulatory focus and reward structure. In two experiments, we prime regulatory focus and manipulate task reward structure. Our participants perform a rule-based learning task whose solution requires flexible strategy testing as well as an information-integration task for which flexible strategy use hinders learning. Across two experiments, we predict and obtain a three-way interaction between regulatory focus, reward structure, and task. Relative to a mismatch, a match leads to better rule-based task performance, but worse performance on the information-integration task. We relate these findings to other work on motivation and choking under pressure. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
