ABSTRACT:
This study investigated the effects of different goal and feedback conditions on performance of a basketball shooting task and a more complex one-on-one offensive basketball task. Subjects were matched, based on pretest performance, into one of five conditions: competitive goal, cooperative goal, mastery goal, "do your best" with feedback, and "do your best" without feedback. Subjects also responded to questionnaires to allow an assessment of the strength of mastery, competitive, and social goal orientations, with reflected personal achievement goals held before goal-setting instructions were offered. Results indicated that the competitive goal group performed significantly better than the do-your-best-without-feedback group in one-on-one posttest trials. No other between-group performance differences were significant. Subjects' goal orientations were not related to performance in the competitive and cooperative goal conditions, but significant relationships were found for mastery goal group subjects. The results are discussed in terms of Locke's theory of goal setting as well as achievement motivation research on goal orientations, and future directions for research are offered. Investigates the effects of different goal and feedback conditions on performance of a basketball shooting task, and a more complex one-on-one offensive basketball task. Assigns male recreational basketball players (n=100) to one of five conditions: competitive goal, cooperative goal, mastery goal, 'do your best' with feedback, and 'do your best' without feedback. Subjects also respond to a modified version of the Sport Achievement Questionnaire. Results indicate that the competitive goal group performs significantly better than the do-your-best-without-feedback' group in one-on-one posttest trials. No other between-group performance differences are significant. Subjects' goal orientations are not related to performance in the competitive and cooperative goal conditions, but significant relationships are found for subjects in the mastery goal group.
