q3 i? Autonomous mastery-approach goal complexes positively predicted adaptive achievement outcomes (interest, persistence, help-seeking) over and above mastery-approach goals alone and autonomous reasons alone, while controlled complexes did not show the same benefits. → Andrew J. Elliot · Nicolas Sommet 2023

q3 · i? · review · r1

The review reports a series of studies by Sommet and Elliot (2017) linking achievement goals to autonomous versus controlled reasons grounded in self-determination theory. 'Controlled mastery-approach goal complexes did not show the same benefits,' and comparable results emerged for performance-approach complexes.

"an autonomous mastery-approach goal complex positively predicted adaptive achievement outcomes (e.g., interest, persistence, help-seeking) over and above the influence of mastery-approach goals alone and autonomous reasons alone"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• Self-determination theory holds that autonomy support raises intrinsic motivation, and a meta-analysis finds expected tangible rewards undermine it — related
• For effective self-regulators, mastery goals have a large positive and performance-avoidance goals a small negative effect on metacognition — related
