q3 i2 Among high-school students in a real sociocognitive conflict, performance goals significantly predicted reported self-competence (η² = .13), interpreted as relational conflict regulation. → Darnon 2006

Evidence¶

Darnon 2006¶

Darnon, C., Muller, D., Schrager, S. M., Pannuzzo, N., & Butera, F. (2006). Mastery and Performance Goals Predict Epistemic and Relational Conflict Regulation. Journal of Educational Psychology, 98(4), 766–776. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-0663.98.4.766

Study 2 regression showed "performance goals significantly predicted the reported amount of self-competence" (B = 0.22, η² = .13); mastery goals (B = 0.01) and the interaction (B = −0.03) were non-significant.

"As expected, per- formance goals significantly predicted the reported amount of self-competence ( B /H110050.22), t(57) /H110052.87, p /H11021.003 ( /H92572 /H11005.13). The more participants endorsed performance goals, the more they reported being competent."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
