Social achievement goals such as the desire to receive positive feedback from the social environment or avoid negative feedback are situations that affect an individual's quality of life and predispose them to mental disorders.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between social achievement goals and self-esteem, depression, and anxiety in medical school students.
400 participants, 201 of whom were female volunteers, between the ages of 18-30, studying at the Faculty of Medicine were evaluated. Sociodemographic Data Form, Social Achievement Goal Orientation Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory Sub-Scale were applied to the participants.
A negative correlation between social development goals and depression (rs = -0.218, P < 0.001) and anxiety (rs = -0.188, P < 0.001), and a positive correlation with self-esteem (P = 0.002) were found. A statistically significant and positive correlation between social performance-avoidance goals and depression (rs = 0.233, P < 0.001) and anxiety (rs = 0.245, P < 0.001), and still statistically significant, and negative relationship with self-esteem (P = 0.001) were found. While social performance-approach goals were positively correlated with anxiety (rs = 0.192, P < 0.001) and depression (rs = 0.108, P = 0.03), no statistically significant correlation was found with self-esteem (P = 0.129).
It has been seen that our study generally supports the other studies in the literature concerning the relations between social achievement goal subgroups and self-esteem, depression, and anxiety in university students. It will be possible to contribute to the findings with studies encompassing university students from different cities and departments and studies with a large number of participants other than students.
社交成就目标，如渴望从社交环境中获得积极反馈或避免负面反馈，是影响个体生活质量并导致精神障碍的情况。
本研究旨在探讨医学生的社交成就目标与自尊、抑郁和焦虑之间的关系。
评估了 400 名参与者，其中 201 名为女性志愿者，年龄在 18-30 岁之间，他们在医学院就读。向参与者应用了社会成就目标取向量表、贝克焦虑量表、贝克抑郁量表和罗森伯格自尊量表子量表。
发现社交发展目标与抑郁（rs=-0.218，P<0.001）和焦虑（rs=-0.188，P<0.001）呈负相关，与自尊呈正相关（P=0.002）。社交表现回避目标与抑郁（rs=0.233，P<0.001）和焦虑（rs=0.245，P<0.001）呈显著正相关，且与自尊呈显著负相关（P=0.001）。而社交表现趋近目标与焦虑（rs=0.192，P<0.001）和抑郁（rs=0.108，P=0.03）呈正相关，但与自尊无显著相关性（P=0.129）。
总的来说，我们的研究支持文献中关于社交成就目标亚组与大学生自尊、抑郁和焦虑之间关系的其他研究。通过涵盖来自不同城市和院系的大学生以及参与者人数更多的研究，将有可能为这些发现做出贡献。
