奖学金制度对研究生的心理激励探讨——基于厦门大学的案例研究

Abstract

以厦门大学为例,采用调查法对硕士研究生奖学金制度改革的实效进行分析,通过引入核心自我评价和成就动机两种心理品质来研究奖学金制度对研究生自我价值感与成就动机倾向的影响。结果表明,硕士研究生总体上追求成功动机的得分高于避免失败动机的得分;在硕士不同年级中,文科生追求成功的动机要低于理工科学生;核心自我评价在研究生对奖学金制度改革的满意度和避免失败的动机中起着部分中介的作用。厦门大学的奖学金制度改革对研究生具有一定的心理激励影响,但在奖学金金额梯度设置、优化学科资源和倡导良性竞争等方面仍需要不断完善。

A case study was conducted at Xiamen University to investigate the reform in its graduate scholarship system and,by means of core self-evaluation and achievement motivation,to determine the effects of the scholarship system on students'sense of self-worth and attitude to achievement motivation.It was found that most master's students scored higher in the motivation of pursuing success than avoiding failure and humanities students showed lower scores in the motivation of pursuing success than students of science and engineering.Core self-evaluation played a partial intermediary role in students'degree of satisfaction about the reform of the scholarship system and motivation to avoid failure.The scholarship system reform at Xiamen University provides certain psychological incentive for students,but improvements are needed in the settings of scholarship amounts,optimization of program resources and promotion of healthy competition.
