Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the possible dynamicity of reading motivation across time. To this end, the reading motivation questionnaire (Mori, 2002) was administered to about 101 BA students twice. The results indicated that reading motivation does not have a fixed construct. Different components of reading motivation might change in nature across time.
