q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports Chi's (1993) study of male college students on a physical exertion task comparing self-efficacy theory predictions with goal theory. The review states these results suggest goal orientations and self-efficacy perceptions combine in ways not originally predicted by self-efficacy theory.

"high task-oriented subjects report greater perceived fitness competence (i.e., self-efficacy) regardless of how well they perform, whereas high ego-oriented subjects report lower perceived competence after being told they performed poorly."
