Measuring individual differences in task‐related motivation in children and adolescents: Development and validation of a new self‐report measure

摘要

Task characteristics can alter motivation. Understanding how individuals respond to these characteristics is important in understanding how to adapt tasks to increase engagement of individuals with mental health problems. We describe the development of a self‐report questionnaire quantifying individual differences in task‐related motivation—The Child and Adolescent Motivational Profile (CHAMP). We explore the association with externalizing/internalizing problems.
