q3 i? Engaging in work avoidance is particularly related to negative activity emotions, confirming theoretical assumptions. → Tanja Bross 2024 q2 i? Primary studies show work-avoidance goals correlate positively with anxiety, anger, shame and boredom and negatively with enjoyment. → Tanja Bross 2024 (2)

Evidence¶

Tanja Bross 2024¶

Tanja Bross, Ulrike Elisabeth Nett, & Martin Daumiller. (2024). Interrelations Among Achievement Goals and Achievement Emotions: A Meta-Analytic Examination. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09931-9

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

The meta-analytic results confirm that work-avoidance goals are "particularly related to negative activity emotions," supporting the assumption that work avoidance carries unfavorable emotional correlates at the activity-emotion level.

"The results for work-avoidance goals confirmed the assumption that engaging in work avoidance is particularly related to negative activity emotions."

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Primary studies reviewed in the article report work-avoidance goals correlating positively with anxiety, anger, shame and boredom and negatively with enjoyment, with ranges such as "boredom (r = [0.18; .40])" and "enjoyment (r = [-.41; -.16])".

"these goals showed small to large strength positive associations with the negative emotions anxiety (r = [.19; .20], anger ( r = [.28; .31]), shame ( r = .12) and boredom (r = [0.18; .40]) and small to large negative associations with the positive emotion enjoyment (r = [-.41; -.16])"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

• Facets of mastery goals, but not population, moderate goal-emotion interrelations — related
• Achievement goals show small consistent correlations with academic achievement, positive for approach goals and negative for avoidance goals — related
• Achievement goal instructions show no main effects on achievement emotions in game-based learning — related
