主観的競争状況における目標志向性 : ―場面の競争性の高さによる検討―

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the structure of competitiveness on the perception of competitive situations in which competition is not cleary related to goal achievement. A preliminary survey identified a "part-time job situation"(low compertitiveness), and a "sport situation"(high competitiveness) were sitable for this study. Some 266 Undergraduates responded to a questionnaire consising of a competitiveness sclale , and goal orientations on the cometitive situations. It was discoveredthat the strengh of competitiveness affect their goal oientations. In the competitivesituation , Even if participants were not competitively motivated, ehaviors promotiong achievement were based on goal orientation. In situations where the consequences of winning or losing (valence of competition high), relative to just competitiveness, a competitive goal orientation was more influential. However, this influence was not just facilitative, but also suppressive of competitiveness depending on the situation. Furthermore, not only did the degree of the competitiveness of a situation have an the influence , but the indidual's compertitiveness also was impotant.
