Annotation

The fluidity, variety and high speed of change of the modern world breed uncertainty and ambiguity. This ambiguity is a consequence of freedom of choice, and the many alternatives with which a person grapples. ambiguity is both the condition and the subject matter of research activity. The aim of the present study was to clarify the associations of tolerance for ambiguity with the type of motivation (internal or external) for various types of academic activity carried out by doctoral students in a university. doctoral students (N = 227) from natural science departments at Kazan university (Russia) identified their level of ambiguity tolerance (high and low). Results showed a positive link between ambiguity tolerance and external motivation for various forms of university-related activity and an inverse link with internal motivation. doctoral students with a lower level of ambiguity tolerance showed a higher level of internal motivation for their scholarly activities, that is, avoidance of uncertainty served as a source of internal motivation for research-related activities.for those with high ambiguity tolerance, more external stimuli (reward, constraint) were needed to motivate the person for research. moreover, at high levels of ambiguity tolerance the direction of the associations changed and becomes a positive link between internal motivation and ambiguity tolerance. The results should be taken into account in the organization of higher ducation.
