Does Motivation Affect Performance via Persistence?

Vollmeyer, Regina; Rheinberg, Falko

Learning and Instruction, v10 n4 p293-309 Aug 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.
