Arousing motives or eliciting stories? On the role of pictures in a picture–story exercise
Picture–story exercises (PSE) form a popular measurement approach that has been widely used for the assessment of implicit motives. However, current theorizing offers two diverging perspectives on the role of pictures in PSEs: either to elicit stories or to arouse motives. In the current study, we t...

On the role of pictures in a picture–story exercise Schäpers, Philipp Krumm, Stefan LIEVENS, Filip Stenzel, Nikola Picture–story exercises (PSE) form a popular measurement approach that has been widely used for the assessment of implicit motives. However, current theorizing offers two diverging perspectives on the role of pictures in PSEs: either to elicit stories or to arouse motives. In the current study, we tested these perspectives in an experimental design. We administered a PSE either with or without pictures. Results from N = 281 participants revealed that the experimental manipulation had a medium to large effect for the affiliation and power motive domains, but no effect for the achievement motive domain. We conclude that the herein chosen pictures cues function differentially across motives, as they aroused the affiliation and power motives, but not the achievement motive. 2023-04-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/6850 info:doi/10.1177/10731911211036191 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/lkcsb_research/article/7849/viewcontent/TAT_Assessment.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University experimental test validation picture–story exercise Thematic Apperception Test validity Design of Experiments and Sample Surveys Industrial and Organizational Psychology Organizational Behavior and Theory |
