ABSTRACT:
This study examined the relations among goal orientation, success and ability beliefs, and performance in novice martial arts students. Sixty-eight (33 men, 35 women) community college students (mu age = 22.90 years, SD=4.8) completed a version of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ; Duda & White, 1992) and rated their satisfaction and performance in martial arts class. Instructors rated performance on several martial arts skills. Factor analysis of the TEOSQ demonstrated that students organized their goals around task and ego orientations. Task orientation positively correlated with satisfaction (r=.33) and instructors' performance ratings (r=.30, all p's less than .05). Task orientation predicted performance, controlling for exercise and experience. Results suggest the goodness of fit between traditional martial arts and task orientation.
