q3 i? In Study 1, self-set mastery goals predicted social comparison orientation, and this link was strengthened by higher performance-approach goal endorsement, as shown by a significant interaction effect. → 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 1 used self-set achievement goals — mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance — as predictors of social comparison orientation. The reported "interaction between mastery goals and performance-approach goals" indicated a stronger mastery-goal–SCO link at higher performance-approach endorsement; no effect size is printed in the available text.

"In Study 1, we tested self-set achievement goals (mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals) as predictors of SCO; the interaction between mastery goals and performance-approach goals indicated that the higher the performance-approach goal endorsement, the stronger the link between mastery goals and SCO."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• Mastery goals, performance-approach goals, and performance-avoidance goals are each related to social comparison orientation — a broader claim this one bears on
• The mastery–performance-approach goal interaction on social comparison replicates across correlational and experimental methods — a broader claim this one bears on
• Experimentally induced mastery goals predicted interest in social comparison only under a performance-approach goal condition — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
