title: Students' motives for communicating with their instructors and affective and cognitive learning.
abstract: Students (N = 259) reported on their motives for communicating with their instructors along with completing measures of affective and cognitive learning. The relational, functional, and participatory motives tended to be positively correlated with learning, but there were no significant associations for excuse-making and sycophantic motives with learning.
