  • Title: The social-cognitive model of achievement motivation and the 2 x 2 achievement goal framework.
    Author: Cury F, Elliot AJ, Da Fonseca D, Moller AC.
    Journal: J Pers Soc Psychol; 2006 Apr; 90(4):666-79. PubMed ID: 16649862.
    Abstract:
    Two studies examined hypotheses drawn from a proposed modification of the social-cognitive model of achievement motivation that centered on the 2 x 2 achievement goal framework. Implicit theories of ability were shown to be direct predictors of performance attainment and intrinsic motivation, and the goals of the 2 x 2 framework were shown to account for these direct relations. Perceived competence was shown to be a direct predictor of achievement goals, not a moderator of relations implicit theory or achievement goal effects. The results highlight the utility of attending to the approach-avoidance distinction in conceptual models of achievement motivation and are fully in line with the hierarchical model of achievement motivation.
