Abstract
The Mastery Performance‐Goal Orientation Test (MP‐GOT) assesses performance‐ and mastery‐orientation along a single bipolar dimension. In Study 1 (n = 198) we explored its psychometric properties and determined whether its results were related to learning. In addition, we employed Latent Profile Analysis to explore goal orientation profiles. In Study 2 (n = 1689) we explored whether goal orientation scores were related to cooperation and whether the goal orientation profiles identified in Study 1 were replicated. In both studies, reliability of the MP‐GOT was high, and a 4‐profile solution was retained. Mastery‐oriented participants tend to obtain higher learning scores (Study 1) and higher cooperation scores (Study 2). MP‐GOT has the potential to be a useful instrument for measuring goal orientation and its relation to relevant behavioral outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Psychology in the Schools, which is published eight times per year, is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to research, opinion, and practice. The journal welcomes theoretical and applied manuscripts, focusing on the issues confronting school psychologists, teachers, counselors, administrators, and other personnel workers in schools and colleges, public and private organizations. Preferences will be given to manuscripts that clearly describe implications for the practitioner in the schools.
