Abstract
The aims of this study were twofold: (a) to examine the structural validity of the Spanish version of the 3×2 Achievement Goals Questionnaire (Elliot, Murayama, & Pekrun, 2011) in the non-university academic context, and (b) to analyze the predictive patterns of achievement goals on self-determined motivation and life satisfaction. A total of 2630 high school students agreed to participate. The results of a Confirmatory Factor Analysis support the hypothetical model which, compared with ten alternative models, produced the best fit to the data. Validity and internal consistency were satisfactory. Regression analyses showed different predictive patterns between task-based and self-based goals, although both approaches were adaptive. The three approaches positively predicted life satisfaction. Their implication is discussed from a theoretical framework.
