Abstract

The current study examined the role of family orientations on the achievement motivations (i.e., achievement goal orientations and intrinsic motivation) of high school youths of different generational status (i.e., from immigrant or non-immigrant families) when their perception of their parents’ goals and classroom goal structures were tested simultaneously as predictors. A total of 331 high school students (ninth grade; ages 13–16, with 96% of the students in the ages of 14 or 15; 141 boys and 187 girls) from one high school in the United States participated in the study, completing a series of assessments with regard to their math classes. The findings show the complex role of the family contexts (parent goals and family orientations) on the adaptive mastery goals for children of immigrant families, going beyond previous studies that reported the relationships between family orientation and performance-approach or less adaptive performance-avoidance goals. This study still found that students’ family orientations strongly predicted their desire to win over their peers with certain levels of internal pressure in order to meet their parents’ expectations, aligned with previous literature. Through examining a context beyond the classroom context, studies should continue to examine the larger family and cultural context in understanding students with diverse backgrounds.
移民与非移民家庭子女的家庭取向与成就目标取向
当前的研究考察了家庭取向对不同世代(即来自移民或非移民家庭)的高中青年的成就动机(即成就目标取向和内在动机)的作用,同时测试了他们对父母目标和课堂目标结构的感知作为预测因素。来自美国一所高中的331名高中生(九年级;13-16岁,其中96%的学生年龄在14岁或15岁;141名男孩和187名女孩)参加了这项研究,完成了一系列数学课程评估。研究结果表明,家庭环境(父母目标和家庭取向)对移民家庭子女的适应性掌握目标具有复杂的作用,这超出了以往报道家庭取向与表现方法或适应性较差的表现回避目标之间关系的研究。这项研究仍然发现,与以前的文献一致,学生的家庭取向强烈预测了他们在一定程度的内部压力下赢得同龄人的欲望,以满足父母的期望。通过考察课堂背景之外的背景,研究应该继续考察更大的家庭和文化背景,以理解不同背景的学生。
