Longitudinal Change and Stability of Achievement Goal Orientation

This study posits that achievement goal endorsement is likely to be stable to some degree, but it is also likely to exhibit change across time. A longitudinal state-trait approach was utilized in the present study to examine the stability of achievement goal orientation. With a sample of 5,847 eighth graders followed over 3 years, the present study used a latent trait-state-occasion(TSO) model(Cole, Martin, & Steiger, 2005) to isolate the trait and state components. Results showed that TSO model was the best representation for achievement goals, validating that the achievement goal measures included both state and trait components. Over three years, the percentages of variance explained by the state component (60~70%) were greater than that explained by the trait component(30~40%) across four goals; State components were higher than trait components across all types of achievement goals. The portion of the variance attributed to the occasion-specific variable was higher in both mastery-avoidance and performance- voidance goals than mastery-approach goals. Regardless of mastery or performance goal, avoidance goals are more reactive to the situation, whereas mastery-approach goals are more similar to enduring disposition in their expression of stability. The implications of the present findings are discussed.
