A New Look at Multiple Goal Pursuit: the Promise of a Person-Centered Approach
The current study reviewed and synthesized studies employing a person-centered approach to studying achievement goals. Towards this end, a common labeling scheme was developed for goal profiles. Ten profile types were identified across studies and compared via meta-analytic techniques in terms of academic motivation, social/emotional well-being, engagement, and achievement. Two theoretically relevant profiles—Mastery High and Approach High—were relatively common and adaptive across all outcomes; the Performance/Work Avoidance Low profile was also generally adaptive. The Average All Goals and Low All Goals profiles, conversely, were consistently maladaptive. The pursuit of performance-approach, performance-avoidance, or work-avoidance goals alone was rare and generally maladaptive except with respect to achievement. Supplementary moderator analyses revealed that school level and goal model—but not analytic technique—were important variables to consider regarding both the prevalence and adaptive nature of goal profiles. This research synthesis provides insight into longstanding debates within the achievement goal literature and highlights the potential of person-centered analyses to complement findings from more predominant variable-centered research.

Does anxiety consistently affect the achievement goals of college students? A four-wave longitudinal investigation from China
The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the relationship between anxiety and achievement goals among college students in China. The study collected the anxiety levels and achievement goals of college students from the freshman to senior years and conducted a four-wave random intercept cross-lagged model to analyze their prospective relationship. The results showed that (1) Chinese college students continued to score higher on approach goals than on avoidance goals on average, indicating that they tended to accomplish their goals through effort rather than to avoid negative results; (2) Anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with mastery-approach goals yet positively associated with mastery-avoidance goals and performance-avoidance goals over the four academic years; and (3) Anxiety among freshman students exerted significant positive effects on their mastery goals during the sophomore year, whereas high levels of anxiety during the sophomore year generated more avoidance goals during the junior year, and anxiety in the junior year led to fewer approach goals during the senior year. Furthermore, performance-avoidance goals had persistent effects on anxiety symptoms among college students. This study suggests that it is necessary to distinguish the heterogeneous effects of anxiety on achievement goals during different academic years. Students in the freshman year should maintain proper levels of anxiety to promote their pursuit of mastery goals; nevertheless, anxiety among sophomores and juniors should be approximately alleviated to reduce their avoidance goals and generate more approach goals.
