Vollmeyer, Regina; Rheinberg, Falko – Learning and Instruction, 2000
Studied the relationships among motivation, persistence, and performance in a sample of 51 German college students. Path analysis showed that initial motivation influenced persistence but that the relationship between persistence and performance was disrupted because learners with more knowledge stopped sooner.
