Abstract

Writing is a demanding task which requires a great deal of cognitive effort, and therefore developing the motivation to write is important in education. In the present study, we developed and validated the Writing Motivation Scale for Korean college students. Based on existing instruments that measure writer’s beliefs and attitudes, we defined six main constructs of writing motivation and generated 37 items to measure them. The Writing Motivation Scale was administered to 183 undergraduates. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the Writing Motivation Scale consisted of 24 items with four factors: Writing Self-efficacy, Writing Affect, Writing to Think, and Writing Gift. In order to explore its construct validity, 297 undergraduates completed the inventory of the refined Writing Motivation Scale and its related scales. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested an acceptable fit to a four-factor model. Writing Self-efficacy, Writing Affect and Writing to Think were negatively correlated with the sub-scales of Surface Writing Approach and showed positive correlation with those of Deep Writing Approach. Writing Gift were negatively correlated with only the External Motive of Surface Writing Approach. Lastly, implications and limitations of reported findings are discussed.
