Abstract
This study examined the causal relationships model of antecedents and consequences of achievement goal orientations among university students. On a sample consisting of 300 students (150 males 150 female), the Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (ASEQ), the Perceived Parent Goal Emphases (PPGE), the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (AGQ-R), the Stress Appraisal Measure-Revised (SAM-R) and the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire-Short Form (AEQ-SF) were administrated. Results showed that there is a positive significant correlation between academic self-efficacy and perceived parent mastery goal emphasis with students' mastery goal orientation and a positive significant correlation between self-efficacy and perceived parent performance goal emphasis with students' performance goal orientation. Results also showed that there is a positive significant correlation between mastery goal orientation with adaptive appraisal and a negative significant correlation with non-adaptive appraisals and there is a positive correlation between performance goal orientation with non-adaptive appraisal and a negative correlation with adaptive appraisal. Also, results indicated that there is a positive correlation between adaptive appraisal with positive emotions and a negative relationship with negative emotions and there is a positive correlation between non-adaptive appraisal with negative emotions and a negative correlation with positive emotions. On the one hand, these finding show that the self-efficacy beliefs and perceived parents' goal emphases have important role in prediction of students' goal orientations. On the other hand, these findings emphasis on the role of students' goal orientations in prediction of cognitive appraisals and achievement emotions for them.
