Abstract

![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to examine similarities and differences in the motivational goals held by students from different cultural groups. Using the cross-culturally validated Inventory of School Motivation MANOVA was conducted to examine statistical differences among the seven cultural groups (Anglo-Australian, Migrant Australian, Aboriginal Australian, Native American, Anglo-American, African and Hong Kong Chinese) in eight (task, effort, competition, social power, affiliation, social concern, praise and token) ISM scales. Findings support the validity and usefulness of the ISM in providing a motivational profile for students from diverse cultural backgrounds in educational settings.]]
