In or der to obtain a global idea of the motivation of Spanish schoolchildren,we studied the loadings of the motives, the underlying motivational structure, and the relationshipbetween intensive and selective aspects of the behavior. The sample of participants was madeup of 4606 pupils (2294 males and 2312 f emales) from 37 Spanish schools.
