  In Poster Session: Motivational Beliefs, Context, and Consequences

Abstract

Although students often work as a team, their goals have primarily been studied within the context of individual work. This study identified profiles based on achievement goals for both individual and group work among Korean undergraduates (Study 1: n = 271; Study 2: n = 93). How these profiles relate to students’ cooperative and competitive attitudes and different types of sociocognitive conflict regulation were also examined. Across two distinct samples, four similar patterns of profiles were identified. Cooperative attitudes predicted greater likelihood of membership into profiles with moderate-to-high levels of all goals or high levels of individual and group mastery goals and performance-between group goals. These profiles also showed higher levels of more adaptive type of conflict regulation, constructive-epistemic regulation.
