Abstract

This quantitative study investigated different motivational orientations (e.g. intrinsic/extrinsic and approach/avoidance) held by counseling graduate students in relation to their level of education (e.g. master’s and doctoral), and in relation to non-counseling graduate students. Using two well-validated measures of motivation -The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS, Vallerand, Pelletier, Blais, Briere, Senecal, & Vallieres,1992) and Achievement Goal Questionnaire- Revised (AGQ- R, Elliot & Murayama, 2008), data were collected from graduate students ( N = 205) enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions. The findings revealed that counseling graduate students more frequently experience intrinsic and performance-approach motivation, and their motivational orientations vary based on their level of education. Finally, the study addresses some of its limitations and recommendations for future research based upon the results.
