Further Clarifying the Competition-Performance Relation: Reply to D. W. Johnson et al. (2012)
Murayama, Kou; Elliot, Andrew J.
Psychological Bulletin, v138 n6 p1079-1084 Nov 2012
In their commentary, D. W. Johnson, Johnson, and Roseth (2012) provided some laudatory statements about our article, but they also expressed a number of concerns. The concerns focus on the following issues: types and definitions of competition, our choice of control group, the nature of performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals, the comprehensiveness of the opposing processes model, and performance-approach goals and constructive competition. We respond to each of these issues in turn and conclude with a statement regarding working to build an integrative model of the competition-performance relation (and beyond).
