Abstract
For decades, the effects of achievement goals on various aspects of individual task performance have been examined. Although these goals are often pursued in social contexts, surprisingly little research has focused on interpersonal effects of achievement goals. One process that is particularly important for successful task performance is the exchange of information between individuals, because by doing so people can profit from their collective task-related knowledge and skills. In this paper, the author reviews extant achievement motivation research that focuses on interpersonal processes. In addition, the results of recent studies on the effects of achievement goals on information exchange processes are presented and discussed. (Netherlands Journal of Psychology 65, 53-61.)
