Goal Orientation: A test of competing models
… and 3-factor (e.g., VandeWalle, 1997) models of goal orientation. These models differ in specifying the dimensionality, measurement, and nomological network for learning goal orientation and performance goal orientation constructs. This study specifically tested the factorial and nomological …

Goal Orientation and Responses to Negative Feedback
The effect of goal orientation (GO) on responses to and attitudes toward negative feedback were examined. Seventy college students from a Midwest university were provided negative normative feedback regarding their performance on a Boggle® word finding task. Half of the participants received …

The Relationship between Goal Orientation and Gender Roles
… to examine the relationship between a person’s goal orientation and the gender roles that they adopt. The relationship between gender and goal orientation has been studied for years, but the results have been inconclusive. Some studies find a gender difference and some studies do not. For this …

Goal Orientation and Training Transfer Initiation and Maintenance
… with the trainee characteristics of goal orientation and self-efficacy. It was hypothesized that initiation mediates the relationship between goal orientation and maintenance, and that the relationship between performance goal orientation and initiation is moderated by self-efficacy. …

The Interacting Effect of Self-Efficacy and Performance Goal Orientation on Goal Setting and Performance: The Positive Side of Performance Goal Orientation
The empirical literature on goal orientation is ambiguous in relation to the supposed effects of performance goal orientation (PGO) on goal setting and performance. In an attempt to clear up this issue it was hypothesized based on Carol Dweck's (1989) theoretical framework that dispositional …

A Conditional Reasoning Measure of Goal Orientation : Preliminary Development
Self-report measures of goal orientation are susceptible to response distortion, which leads to inaccurate assessments of an individual's goal setting and task choice motivations. Conditional reasoning measures provide an indirect way to assess implicit cognitions associated with personality …

Goal orientation and alcohol use during the transition to college
… the salience of first-year students' academic goals. Students were randomly assigned to set academic goals or no goals (control) at the start of the fall 2014 semester. Alcohol-related cognitions, past-month alcohol use, negative consequences of drinking, self-control, goal importance, and goal …

Electrocorticographic Neural Correlates of Arm Movements and Associated Goal Orientation in Humans
… of arm kinematics, target encoding, and goal encoding using subdural electrocorticographic: ECoG) recordings in humans. Using a joystick-based visuomotor task, subjects performed both a standard, delayed match-to-sample center-out task as well as a circular tracing task. Spectral analyses …

They're All in it Together: A Pattern Approach to Exploring Goal Orientation
… approach to the examination of the dimensions of goal orientation. To explore the differential behavior of people who possess different goal orientation patterns, the present study sought to verify the existence of optimal and least optimal patterns using two important motivational outcome …

The Effects of Goal Orientation and Type of Feedback on Perceived Competence and Performance
The theory of goal orientation holds that persons will generally be motivated by one of three goal orientations in an achievement setting: a learning orientation, a performance-prove orientation, or a performance-avoid orientation. These goal orientations create the mental frameworks that an …

The Role of Goal Orientation in Reactions to Normative and Improvement Based Performance Feedback
Achievement goal orientation has been found to be a useful and important construct for academic and organizational contexts. The present study expands upon the research literature by investigating the relationship between an individual's achievement goal orientation and that individual's reactions …

Testing the Generality of Regulatory Fit with Goal Orientation in the Performance Feedback Context
… the generality of the fit principle using goal orientation. I will test the effect of fit on corrective feedback utilization. I predict that experiencing regulatory fit between goal orientation and goal pursuit strategies will lead to: 1) higher behavioral utilization of feedback, and 2) …

The interaction of goal orientation and interest on students' use of self-regulated learning strategies
Goal orientation and interest are two motivational components of self-regulated learning that have been found to be positively correlated with the frequent use of learning strategies. The focus of this study was to examine if these two motivational components interact to affect students' use of …

The Interaction Between Learning Goal Orientation and Differentially Distributed -Practice Training Designs in Labor Education
… the effects of the interaction between learning goal orientation and practice conditions on various training outcomes in labor education. Participants were students in six different labor education courses, three in the massed practice condition, and three in the distributed practice condition. …
