Subclaims¶

q2 i? Prior work cited by the article (Régner, Escribe, and Dupeyrat, 2007) demonstrated that performance-approach, performance-avoidance, and mastery goals are each related to social comparison orientation. → Darnon 2010

Evidence¶

Darnon 2010¶

Darnon, C., Dompnier, B., Gilliéron, O., & Butera, F. (2010). The Interplay of Mastery and Performance Goals in Social Comparison: A Multiple-Goal Perspective. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0018161

q2 · i? · causal · r?

This is second-hand evidence: the review attributes the demonstration to Régner, Escribe, and Dupeyrat (2007), reporting that all three goal types were "related to social comparison orientation (SCO, the tendency to search for social comparison information)". The cited study's design is not described in the available text.

"Régner, Escribe, and Dupeyrat (2007) recently demonstrated that not only performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals (respectively, the desire to outperform others and not to be outperformed by others) but also mastery goals (the desire to acquire knowledge) were related to social comparison orientation (SCO, the tendency to search for social comparison information)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• The link between mastery goals and social comparison orientation is stronger the higher learners' performance-approach goal endorsement — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
