Research has neglected the utility of pro-social goals within achievement situations. In this article, four studies demonstrate that amity goal orientation, promoting mutual success of oneself together with others, enhances the utility of mastery goal orientation. We demonstrate this in longitudinally predicting performance (Studies 1 and 2) and in maintaining motivation after a disappointing performance (Studies 3 and 4). The studies demonstrate the same interaction effect in academic and in work achievement contexts. Specifically, whereas amity goal orientation did not predict achievement on its own, it enhanced the positive effect of mastery goal orientation. Together, these studies establish the importance of amity goal orientation while also advancing our understanding of the effects of other achievement goal orientations. We suggest future directions in examining the utility of amity goals in other contexts.
研究忽视了在成就情境中亲社会目标的效用。在本文中，四项研究表明，友善目标取向，即促进自己和他人的共同成功，增强了掌握目标取向的效用。我们通过纵向预测表现（研究 1 和 2）以及在令人失望的表现后维持动机（研究 3 和 4）来证明这一点。这些研究在学术和工作成就情境中都证明了相同的相互作用效应。具体来说，虽然友善目标取向本身并不能预测成就，但它增强了掌握目标取向的积极影响。总之，这些研究确立了友善目标取向的重要性，同时也增进了我们对其他成就目标取向影响的理解。我们建议在其他情境中检验友善目标效用的未来方向。
