A 3 x 2 Achievement Goal Model
Elliot, Andrew J.; Murayama, Kou; Pekrun, Reinhard
Journal of Educational Psychology, v103 n3 p632-648 Aug 2011
In the present research, a 3 x 2 model of achievement goals is proposed and tested. The model is rooted in the definition and valence components of competence, and encompasses 6 goal constructs: task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach, and other-avoidance. The results from 2 studies provided strong support for the proposed model, most notably the need to separate task-based and self-based goals. Studies 1 and 2 yielded data establishing the 3 x 2 structure of achievement goals, and Study 2 documented the antecedents and consequences of each of the goals in the 3 x 2 model. Terminological, conceptual, and applied issues pertaining to the 3 x 2 model are discussed. (Contains 3 footnotes and 8 tables.)
