Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the construction of the goal orientations in sport settings and to examine how these goal orientations would be related to high school athletes' relevant elements in actual sport settings. Three-hundred and ninety-seven athletes were given questionnaires on their perceptions of the goal orientations in the sport, and containing some relevant elements in athletes (i.e., their perceived competence, causal attributions, sport motivation, and participation motives). The goal orientations in sport were evaluated using a performance goal scale and a mastery goal scale. The main results were as follow. The factor analysis revealed two factors of the goal orientation in sport as perceived by athletes. Athletes who perceived an emphasis on performance goals were more concerned with winning in grime and participated in sport for gaining social status. Also, performance goals tended to relate to higher levels of competitive anxiety in the athletic setting. On the contrary, athletes who perceived mastery goals as salient had higher achievement motivation for sport and were likely to participate in sport for the enhancement their fitness and likely to emphasize team climate were free and equal. The two kinds of goal orientations also differed in causal attributions, particularly, performance goal were linked to an emphasis on ability attributions.
