AB  - Explores motives for return to study amongst a sample of single and
married mothers who had graduated from four Australian universities as
mature students, using a modified version of Maslin′s Continuing
Education Women′s Motive Questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis
yielded five motive factors which were somewhat different from those
found in two American samples: self‐evaluation/autonomy and
vocational/family advancement were the most strongly endorsed motives.
Scales derived from the factors were tested for their relationship to
entry‐to‐study variables. All variables related significantly to one or
more scales with previous educational experience the best predictor of
motivation.
