Around 1980 European researchers in the field of motivation felt
the need for a closer contact between European colleagues who worked
within the same theoretical framework (cognitive theories of motivation;
achievement motivation; test anxiety; fear of failure; intrinsic
motivation). As result of such discussions the WATM Conferences
were organized.
