dc.description.abstract | This study attempted to investigate whether there
was a relationship between students' socio-economic
background and their instrumental and integrative
motivation. The subjects in the study were students from
two English-medium universities, Bilkent University and
Middle East Technical University (METU), who were
studying in the preparatory schools in order to become
proficient in English prior to entry to their respective
departments. The 50 female and 50 male students who were
between 17 to 28 years of age were randomly selected for
the study. Two instruments, a socio-economic background
(SEB) questionnaire which aimed at identifying four
different levels of SEB, and a instrumental and
integrative motivation scale were used to assess the
subjects' SEB and the two types of motivation. In order
to test the hypothesis of the study two statistical
procedures were used: A Pearson product-moment
correlation coefficient and a one-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA). The results showed that instrumental
motivation was highly related to the upper levels of SEB. Integrative motivation was not significantly related to
SEB. A further investigation was carried out in order to
find out whether SEB of males and females was
significantly related to instrumental and integrative
motivation. The findings suggest females of the upper
SEB levels showed a high level of instrumental
motivation. There was no relationship between females
from lower SEB levels and the two types of motivation.
Likewise, there was no relationship between males from
all levels of SEB and the two types motivation. | en_US |
