The achievement motivation factor was positively correlated with the affiliation motivation factor and three affiliative value factors, i.e., cooperative value, love value and moral value. In Japan, achievement motivation is affiliative. When the values were partialled out of the motivations, a lower positive factor correlation between achievement and affiliation motivations resulted. In a canonical correlation analysis, the affiliative achievement motivation was extracted as the first dimension and the non-affiliative achievement motivation as the third. The findings suggest that the achievement motivation consists of two dimensions. Moreover, affiliative achievement motivation is primary in Japan and non-affiliative achievement motivation in U.S.A.
