Subclaims¶

q2 i0 Academic failure predicted higher performance-avoidance (β = .069) and performance-approach (β = .072) goals the next morning, but not mastery goals, supporting Hypothesis 4; these small standardized coefficients were not robust in all sensitivity analyses. → Neubauer 2022 q2 i? In the sensitivity model with all random-effect covariances, failure no longer significantly predicted next-day performance-approach goals (β = .049) or performance-avoidance goals (β = .040). → Neubauer 2022 (2)

Neubauer 2022¶

Neubauer, A. B., Schmidt, A., Schmiedek, F., & Dirk, J. (2022). Dynamic Reciprocal Relations of Achievement Goals with Daily Experiences of Academic Success and Failure: An Ambulatory Assessment Study. https://osf.io/gfvja/?view_only=b87fe179cf134471948726cb0e482a80

q2 · i0 · associational · r2

Across-day effects from the DSEM of 108 Grade 5 students. Failure predicted next-morning performance goals only; no mastery-goal effect was reported. The printed standardized coefficients are small (below d = 0.2 equivalent).

"Further, and supporting Hypothesis 4, academic failure was associated with higher performance-avoidance goals, β = .069 [.013, .123], and performance-approach goals, β = .072 [.014, .127], in the next morning."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Alternative Model 2 sensitivity analysis: both failure-to-performance-goal cross-lagged effects lost significance when all random effects were allowed to covary.

"Academic failure now no longer significantly predicted next day's performance-approach goals, β = .049 [-.008, .106], or performance-avoidance goals, β = .040 [-.018, .097]."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Daily academic success predicts higher achievement goals the next morning, especially mastery goals — related
• Morning performance-avoidance goals predict same-day academic failure, though not robustly across sensitivity analyses — related
• Performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals were not meaningfully related to same-day academic success — related
