In group work, it is essential that each participant is highly motivated. This study aims to clarify the relationship between participants’ motivation and behavior during group discussions. A questionnaire survey was conducted and group work participants were classified into five motivation types based on factor and cluster analyses as follows: non-motivation type, curiosity motivation type, affinity motivation type, evaluation by others motivation type, and own interest motivation type. By observing video-recorded conversations of participants in group work, we assigned “functional role tags” to their utterances and quantitatively analyzed their behavior. We also examined snippets of their conversations as a case study and found cases where their actual behavior matched their course of action based on each motivation type. Contrarily, we also found a few cases of inconsistency between their motivation type and actual behavior. We further discuss the additional factors needed to explain consistency/inconsistency between motivation type and actual behavior.
