C) the attractiveness of training consequences or second-level intrinsic or extrinsic outcomes for the trainee 
D) the subjective ratings for the trainee associated with the attractiveness of second-level training outcomes A

Question 2

Kurt Kraiger and colleagues developed a classification scheme for learning outcomes that includes cognitive outcomes,skill-based outcomes,and affective outcomes.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 3

a)Define locus of control.Differentiate between internal and external locus of control,and explain the impact of locus of control on training motivation.
 b)Postulate why those with an internal locus of control might have higher training motivation.

Accepted Answer

a)Locus of control refers to people's beliefs about whether their behaviour is controlled mainly by internal or external forces.People with an internal locus of control believe that they can control their own behaviour,while those with an external locus of control believe that their behaviour is determined by outside forces.Locus of control is an important factor of training motivation,because those with an internal locus of control have higher training motivation.b)Students may have different views toward this answer as the textbook is silent on this issue.Possible answers may include the notion that if the trainee is ultimately responsible for his/her motivation level,he/she may in fact commit greater effort toward learning and effort is linked to training motivation.
