Subclaims¶

q3 i? In Study 2, manipulated goal conditions produced interest in social comparison under mastery goals only when a performance-approach goal condition was also present. → 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?

Study 2 experimentally manipulated goal conditions rather than measuring self-set goals. The article reports that "mastery goals predicted interest in social comparison in the performance-approach goal condition only"; no effect size or test statistic is printed in the available text.

"In Study 2, we manipulated goal conditions; mastery goals predicted interest in social comparison in the performance-approach goal condition only."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• The mastery–performance-approach goal interaction on social comparison replicates across correlational and experimental methods — a broader claim this one bears on
• Manipulated performance-approach (vs. avoidance) goals increase preference for a self-confirmatory model over a compliant one with a more-competent partner (Study 2) — related
• Manipulated performance-approach (vs. avoidance) goals increase preference for a self-confirmatory model over a compliant one with a more-competent partner (Study 2) — related
• With explicit competence feedback, performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals predict competitive and protective regulation respectively when partner competence is higher or unspecified, but not equal (Study 3) — related
• The link between mastery goals and social comparison orientation is stronger the higher learners' performance-approach goal endorsement — a broader claim this one bears on
