The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of New Games workshop participation on adults' A-trait and achievement motivation levels. The subjects, 89 adult females and 53 adult males who volunteered to assist in this study, came from 11 three-day workshops from the midwest, central, southern, and eastern United States. Prior to each workshop, the subjects were pretested. Two months after the respective workshops, subjects were posttested. Martens' Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) was used to measure A-trait and Mehrabian's Motivation to Achieve Test (MAT) was used to measure achievement motivation. / A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and the Kruskal-Wallis chi-square test were used to test for differences at the .05 level of significance. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation technique was used to test for significant relationships. Differences and relationships tested were (1) between sexes, (2) between pretests and posttests and, (3) between A-trait and achievement motivation. / The only significant differences from the results were that females scored significantly higher on the SCAT than did males on both the pretest and the posttest. / Further research is suggested comparing different groups. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-12, Section: A, page: 5057. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
