The purpose of this investigation was to replicate and extend previous research (16) that examined group differences (starters, primary and secondary substitutes) on achievement goal orientations, perceived ability, and level of satisfaction. Athletes (N=417), ranging in age from 14 to 18 years, responded to an interscholastic sport questionnaire at preseason and postseason. Multivariate analyses revealed significant player status and time-of-season main effects for males, females, and age groups 14–15 years, 16 years, and 17–18 years. Follow-up analyses indicated that starters were significantly higher on their perceived ability rating than primary and secondary substitutes. Group differences also revealed there were player status differences on the ability and mastery goal orientations for males and females, and for 17- to 18-year-olds. The time main effect revealed that the mastery orientation decreased from the preseason to postseason assessment.

The effects of success and failure on task performance, and attributions about performance, were compared for high and low instrumental college women. For the high instrumental group, success facilitated task performance, whereas failure had no debilitating effect; for the low instrumental group, success had no effect on subsequent performance, whereas failure interfered with it. High instrumental women attributed their success primarily to internal factors and their failures to external tactors (the “egotistical” attribution profile), whereas low instrumentar women revealed the opposite profile. The gender-appropriateness of the task had little effect on performance or attribution. Four potential mediators of these differences were investigated: self-esteem, perceived ability, expectancy of success, and attainment value. High-instrumental women's higher perceived ability and performance expectations accounted for their superior task performance, but none of the four mediators accounted for the relationship of instrumentality to attributions.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of goal orientation and perceived ability on perceived enjoyment and value of playing soccer. Participants were 212 female soccer players (M age, 11.47 years) who were categorized according to one of four goal orientation profile groups. The largest difference between groups was found for valuing soccer between the high task-low ego group and the low task-high ego group, with those in the former group perceiving significantly more value in playing soccer. A median split procedure was then used to divide subjects into high and low perceived ability groups. Perceived ability was found to play a mediating role in the relationship between goal orientation profile and perceived enjoyment and value of playing soccer.

Task Focus

Two major ways of judging one’s competence and defining subjective success in achievement situations are task (focus is on improvement) and ego (focus is on beating others) involvement (16). Specific to the athletic context, this study examined the relationship of young athletes’ proneness to task and ego involvement, or individual differences in the degree of task and ego orientation, respectively, to their (a) beliefs about the causes of success, (b) perceived ability, and (c) degree of satisfaction/enjoyment in the athletic domain. Subjects were 55 young athletes recruited from summer basketball camps. Congruent with previous research on older athletes and the classroom, a conceptually consistent relationship between goal orientations and views concerning the causes of success was revealed. Young athletes who were high in task and ego orientation tended to perceive themselves as more capable and report greater satisfaction/enjoyment. Implications concerning the motivational consequences of goal orientations for children and youth are discussed.

This study aimed at identifying the level of each of the academic self-regulation and self-esteem, and goal orientations; and identifying the gender differences in each variable, as well as identifying the relationship between academic self-regulation and self-esteem, and goal orientations. The sample of the study consisted of 463 students from Irbid National University. The results of the study revealed that the sample of the study showed a medium level in each of the academic self-regulation and self-esteem, and goal orientations as a whole and of each of its dimensions, and the existence of gender differences in the two scales of academic self-regulation and self-esteem in the favor of females, while in the goal orientations the gender differences were in the two dimensions: mastery-approach, performance-avoidant in the favor of females, and performance-approach domain in the favor of males. The results also indicated a statistically significant positive relationship between academic self-regulation and of each of the self-esteem, and goal orientations.

The Relationship

Drawing from contemporary goal perspective theories of achievement motivation, this investigation had as its primary purpose to determine the relationship of perceived motivational climate to intrinsic motivation and attributional beliefs in a sport setting. This study also examined the degree to which the dependent variables of interest are a function of situational goal structure, dispositional goal orientations, or both. Subjects, 105 male basketball players from nine varsity high school teams, were requested to complete the four instruments. Results indicated that the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire was comprised of two valid and reliable subscales, the Mastery and Performance Climate scales. Perceptions of a mastery-oriented climate positively related to reported enjoyment and the belief that effort leads to achievement. Perceptions of a performance-oriented climate were associated with the view that superior ability causes success. In general, indices of intrinsic motivation and attributional beliefs were best predicted by dispositional goal orientation.
