Achievement motivation can be defined as the drive to succeed ( minus, plus ) the fear of failure. The level of achievement motivation depends on the interaction of personality and ( situation, confidence ).
Some performers have NAch approach, some performers have a NAF approach. The personalities can be innate or developed, those with the trait of approaching competition will try ( harder, less hard ) in most situations.
The performer has to gauge the probability of success in the task and the incentive gained from that success. If a task is ( easy, difficult ), the probability of success will be high but the incentive value might be low. A person with a ( NAF, NAch ) approach might choose an easy task with low incentive value. If a task is ( more, less ) difficult and has a lower probability of success, it might have a higher incentive value. A person with a ( NAch, NAF ) approach might choose a difficult task with high incentive value.
