Abstract

There are many approaches to studying students' motivational belief. One approach is students' goal pursuit. Generally, two types of goals are considered, social and achievement. There has been dispute regarding the relationships between students' achievement goal orientations and their social goals. The present article correlates the constructs in one social goal model and one achievement goal model. Contrary to some previous research, it appeared that social and achievement goal orientations are separate constructs. Additionally, mastery-approach achievement goal oriented students are the most socially inclined.
