In the present study, we investigated the stability and malleability of cadets' definitions of success (mastery and performance goal orientations) contextualized within a certain motivational climate (mastery and performance climates). Based on data from three military academies, the results revealed that cadets' goal orientations and their perceptions of the motivational climate remained relatively stable throughout the 2 years of study across three time-points. We also found that a mastery climate predicted individual mastery orientation, and that a performance climate predicted individual performance orientation. These findings contribute to achievement goal theory by clarifying the importance of considering goal orientation contextualized within a certain motivational climate over time. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
在本研究中，我们考察了学员对成功的定义（掌握目标导向和成绩目标导向）在特定动机氛围（掌握氛围和成绩氛围）中的稳定性和可塑性。基于三所军事院校的数据，结果显示，在为期两年的研究中，跨越三个时间点，学员的目标导向及其对动机氛围的认知保持相对稳定。我们还发现，掌握氛围预示着个体的掌握目标导向，而成绩氛围预示着个体的成绩目标导向。这些发现通过阐明考虑目标导向在特定动机氛围中随时间变化的重要性，为成就目标理论做出了贡献。文中还讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
