Subclaims¶

q3 i? The moderating role of performance-approach goals on the mastery-goal–social-comparison link appeared both when goals were measured as self-set (Study 1) and when goal conditions were manipulated (Study 2). → 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

q3 · i? · causal · r?

The article's two studies converge on the same interaction pattern: Study 1 measured self-set goals and found "the interaction between mastery goals and performance-approach goals", while Study 2 "manipulated goal conditions" and found the mastery effect only under performance-approach conditions. The supplied text prints no effect sizes.

"Results are discussed in terms of the importance of multiple-goal pursuit in academic settings."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Experimentally induced mastery goals predicted interest in social comparison only under a performance-approach goal condition — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• 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
