Abstract: The present study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of 88 papers using Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS) to investigate the changes of Chinese college students' achievement motivation level (N=40801) from 1999 to 2014. Results showed that:(1) The motivation of success was not associated with year, and the motivation of avoiding failure increased significantly over time. However, the total score of achievement motivation among college students decreased significantly over time. It is suggested that the level of achievement motivation of Chinese college students decreased significantly over the past 16 years. (2) The total score of achievement motivation (both male and female college students) decreased significantly over time, whereas scores of other factors (the motivation of success and the motivation of avoiding failure) had no significant changes over time. In addition, there was no significant gender difference in the level of achievement motivation.

Key words: achievement motivation, college students, cross-temporal meta-analysis, meta-analysis
