A Motivational Analysis of Defensive Pessimism and Self‐Handicapping
Two studies examined motivational influences on and correlates of defensive pessimism and self‐handicapping and investigated the relationship between these two cognitive strategies and performance attainment. The findings indicated that defensive pessimism and self‐handicapping have similar motivational profiles, with the primary difference being that self‐handicapping represents the absence of approach motivation in the achievement domain, as we…
Perceptions of classroom environment, achievement goals, and achievement outcomes.
Two studies examined the relationship between undergraduates' perceptions of their classroom environment, their adoption of achievement goals for the course, and their graded performance and intrinsic motivation. Results revealed a distinct antecedent profile for each goal in the trichotomous framework: Mastery goals were linked to the presence of lecture engagement and the absence of an evaluation focus and harsh evaluation, performance-approach…
Avoidance Personal Goals and Subjective Well-Being
The present research comprises two studies designed to investigate both antecedents and consequences of pursuing avoidance (relative to approach) personal goals over the course of a semester-long period. Results revealed that neuroticism was positively related to the adoption of avoidance personal strivings (Study 1), and participants with low perceptions of their life skills were more likely to adopt avoidance personal projects (Study 2). Avoida…
A hierarchical model of approach and avoidance achievement motivation

Mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals were assessed and their antecedents and consequences examined. Results indicated that mastery goals were grounded in achievement motivation and high competence expectancies; performance-avoidance goals, in fear of failure and low competence expectancies; and performanc…
