The Impact of Situational and Dispositional Achievement Goals on Performance

Competence, achievement goals, motivational climate, and pleasant psychobiosocial states in youth sport

“…This finding is consistent with the view that individuals may be more intrinsically motivated in environments matching their achievement goals (Jagacinski, Madden, & Reider, 2001), and hence they may experience more pleasant psychobiosocial states (Bortoli et al, 2009). According to this contention, pleasant psychobiosocial states, including cognition (''convinced, resolute, purposeful'') and motivation (''involved, determined, committed''), of high task-oriented participants evaluated as competent were shown to decrease in conditions of high performance climate.…”

Do psychobiosocial states mediate the relationship between perceived motivational climate and individual motivation in youngsters?

“…Results are also coherent with the "matching hypothesis", which suggests that individuals engaged in environments consistent with their own achievement goals are likely to experience pleasant states and be intrinsically motivated, while also displaying more self-determined forms of behavioural regulation (Jagacinski, Madden, & Reider, 2001). …”

A Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Situationally Induced Achievement Goals on Task Performance

“…Time pressure is a dichotomous variable as well ("yes" vs. "no"). If yes, there was a strict limit (which did not exceed 45 min) within which the task needed to be performed (e.g., Elliot et al, 2005;Jagacinski, Madden, & Reider, 2001;Senko & Harackiewicz, 2005;Van Yperen et al, 2009). In case of no time pressure, participants were allowed ample time for the task (Schunk, 1996), or no time limit was mentioned (e.g., Bereby-Meyer & Kaplan, 2005).…”
