Motivation
Achievement goal theory (Nicholls, 1984, 1989)
- A social cognitive approach to motivation
- We are intentional, rational goal-directed organisms
- Individuals engage in achievement situations in order to demonstrate (& maximise
perceptions of) competence
- Two factors interact to determine a person’s motivation in achievement situations
1) Perceptions of ability (competence)
2) How individuals define success (achievement goals)
Goal involvement
• Goal perspectives are used to evaluate an experience as a success or failure
- My perspective reflects – how I define ’success’
• Two principal goal perspectives
- Task involvement: perceptions of demonstrated success are self-referenced (focus
on learning, mastery, enjoyment)
- Ego involvement: perceptions of demonstrated success are other referenced (based
on outperforming others)
AGT – Linking involvement to orientations
Goal orientation = dispositional tendency (proneness) to be task or ego involved in
achievement situations
- Can only be task or ego involved at any one time
States of involvement
Personal factors (P)
- Goal orientations (Task/Ego)
Situational factors
- Motivational climate (Performance/mastery)
P X S = States of Involvement (Task/Ego) à Goal-setting styles
(outcome, performance, process)
A person is task-orientated when:
- Competence perceptions are based on a personal performance
- Success is defined as personal improvement
A person is ego-orientated when:
- Judges competence by comparing their own ability to others
- Defines success in such terms
Week 13a - Sports psychology
Measurement of goal perspectives
- Measurements of states of involvement is very difficult
