The paper presents results of a study (N=280) aimed at adaptation, modification and validation of the Russian version of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire based on the 3x2 model of Elliot’s achievement goal theory. We address the issue of the functionality of the application of the methodology in the study of the goals of educational achievements: in studies in general, or for a specific subject. The study shows that the adapted questionnaire demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties in terms of reproducing the expected factor structure and functioning of individual statements of the questionnaire. According to the results obtained, the group of goals presented in the student’s learning activity differs in severity for different academic disciplines and for learning in general. According to the results obtained, the group of goals presented in the student’s learning activity differs in severity for different academic disciplines and for learning in general. We conclude that the questionnaire can be used for exploring the goals of educational achievements as for specific subjects, as for learning in general. A modified Russian version of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire based on the 3x2 achievement goal model is attached to the article.

Achievement Contexts

Sport is a central achievement context through which participants’ direct competence-related behavior to achieve desired outcomes. Achievement goal theory provides a framework for understanding self-directed behavior in achievement contexts. Theorists postulate that achievement goals reflect one’s purpose and anticipated outcomes which guide behavior. To assess this psychological construct, several achievement goal measures have been developed, from a dichotomous model (Nicholls, 1989) to the most recent 3x2 model (Elliot, Murayama, & Pekrun, 2011). In the present research, the 3x2 achievement goal model (i.e., task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach, other-avoidance) was translated for the collegiate recreational sport domain and tested against alternative theoretical models. A questionnaire was developed and administered to recreational sport participants (N = 614) at a large, post-secondary institution in the United States. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the researchers found the 3x2 model to provide a better fit than the alternative theoretical models. These findings support the most recent theoretical advancement of the achievement goal construct. Through use of multivariate analysis of variance, significant differences across the six achievement goals were found between intramural and sport club participants. These results have implications for researchers and recreational sport practitioners seeking to measure and understand the motivational differences across sport participants.
