How do you separate the problems of self-reporting from the purported
underlying constructs? This includes problems involved in reporting your
own behavior to yourself.

Didn't miss this point, Paul . . . It is an important one as well, and a
weakness inherent to all survey methodology. . . .I just found the question
that I raised more interesting at the time. =)
Hope some of you have data on intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators - perhaps,
individual differences that modulate the effectiveness of each. . . I am
aware of research concerning the (often detrimental, within particular
contexts) effect of tangible rewards on motivation and creative, divergent
thinking/product . . (working at home - refs in my office) Any other
approaches to this issue in the literature that I haven't taken the time to
discover on my own?? (shame on me)
