Dear Colleagues,
My graduate student, Karen Gilbert, and I are conducting a meta-analysis on the association between economic status and avoidance motivation. Our aim is to include as many published and unpublished studies in our meta-analysis as possible, and we are hoping that researchers who have collected data on these constructs will contribute estimates to our meta-analysis.
Any published or unpublished data that includes the following variables would be relevant to our meta-analysis:
At least one of the following measures of economic status:
- Income
- Social status
- Social class
And at least one of the following measures of avoidance motivation:
- Performance-avoidance goals
- Mastery-avoidance goals
- Avoidance social goals
- Avoidance personal goals
- Fear of failure
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of loss of power
- Prevention focus (as assessed by the General Regulatory Focus Questionnaire)
- Behavioral inhibition system sensitivity
Please contact me if you have studies relevant for this meta-analysis that you would be willing to share. All studies included in the meta-analysis will be appropriately cited; please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Andrew Elliot
