Approach and avoidance motivation and achievement goals
Abstract
Achievement goal researchers and theorists have relied primarily on the distinction between performance goals and mastery goals in differentiating competence-based strivings. In this article, an argument is made for incorporating the distinction between approach and avoidance motivation into the performance-mastery dichotomy. Historical, theoretical, and empirical reasons for attending to the approach-avoidance distinction are offered, and a revised, trichotomous framework of achievement goals comprising mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals is described and reviewed. This trichotomous framework is discussed in the broader context of a hierarchical model of achievement motivation that attends to the motivational foundation underlying achievement goals per se. Avenues for further theoretical development are also overviewed, including consideration of a mastery-avoidance goal construct.

“normative evaluations engender a preoccupation with performance concerns (Butler, 1987, 2006; Elliot, 1999; Elliot & Moller, 2003; Harter, 1978; Kluger & DeNisi, 1996; Nicholls, 1984).”

In the citing paper
“Elliot (1999) argued that competence perceptions are but one among a whole series of potential intrapsychic and environmental goal predictors, adding that if the achievementsetting cues are sufficiently dominant, they have the potential to determine goal adoption directly via 'situation-specific concerns' (p. 176).”

“In addition, providing evidence in favor of Elliot's (1999) theory concerning the potential overriding effect that salient environmental variables might have over dispositional variables in the prediction of goal adoption, pretask perceptions of perceived competence in class exercises did not influence the adoption of performanceavoidance goals.”

“the results of Experiments 2 and 3 provide further support for Elliot's (1999) argument that the association between low competence and performance-avoidance goal adoption is likely to be overridden by salient environmental cues.”

In the citing paper
“This is compatible with achievement goal theory, which also argues in favor of the existence of mediators that explain the link between environmental variables and achievement goal endorsement (Elliot, 1999).”

“the salience of potential failure that orients achievement contexts toward threat and can consequently generate performanceavoidance goals (Elliot, 1999) is a relevant issue in the context of graded assessment for all students, whatever their ability range.”

“In this way, results of Experiment 3 furnish a timely integration of achievement goal and self-determination theory and, furthermore, support for the multitiered motivational models favored by a number of theorists (DeShon & Gillespie, 2005; Elliot, 1999; Grouzet et al., 2004; Moller & Elliot, 2006).”

“The participants’ descriptions of moving from fear to curiosity in their academic learning (theme 4) can be seen as resonating with Dweck's (1986) descriptions of learning versus performance goals, and Elliot's (1999) distinction between approach and avoidance motivation in understanding achievement goals.”

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.
