Short-term and Long-Term Consequences of Achievement Goals: Predicting Interest and Performance over Time
Abstract
Why do some students excel in their college classes and develop interest in an academic discipline? The authors examined both the short-term and long-term consequences of students ' achievement goals in an introductory psychology course. Mastery goals positively predicted subsequent interest in the course, but not course grades. Performance goals positively predicted grades, but not interest. Three semesters later, the authors obtained measures of continued interest in the discipline and long-term performance. Mastery goals predicted subsequent enrollment in psychology courses, whereas performance goals predicted long-term academic performance. These positive and complementary effects of mastery and performance goals on different measures of academic success are consistent with a multiple-goals perspective in which both goals can have beneficial consequences in college education. College students often pursue multiple goals in their classes. Some goals may be fairly general and concern students ' reasons for taking a class, whereas other goals are more specific to what students hope to accomplish in the course--to learn as much as they can about the subject or to obtain a high grade. These latter types of goals have been labeled achievement goals (Ames, 1992;

“We used the Japanese-translated version [70] of the lack-of-strategy subscale of the Study Strategy Scale [71]. This subscale assesses the lack of an organized approach to studying and has construct validity and internal consistency (three items; e.g., “I often find that I don’t know what to study or where to start”).”

“Harackiewicz andcolleagues (2000 &2002) provided empirical evidence for their argument that different forms of motivation will have differential effects on different learning outcomes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
