Relationship between explicit achievement motive strength and relative exerted force in Study 1.
The dashed line shows the best fit regression line.
Fig 3.
Evolution of relative exerted force during a trial as a function of explicit achievement motive strength in Study 1.
The graph is based on predicted values generated from regression equations for individuals one SD above and below the mean explicit achievement motive (sanAch) strength. The x-axis refers to the 20 force samples collected during each task trial.
