Education, Achievement, and Giftedness Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Psychological Testing and Assessment

Abstract

This study investigated the psychometric properties of an instrument (i.e., the Goals Inventory) that measured learning and performance goal orientations. Test-retest reliability estimates for the learning and performance goal scales were r = .73 and r = .76, respectively. Internal consistency estimates were assessed using Cronbach's alpha. These values were .80 and .75, respectively. Convergent and divergent validity were evaluated by comparing the Goals Inventory to measures of test anxiety, hope, and attributions for success and failure. All the theoretically explicit predictions of Dweck and Leggett's model were supported. Suggestions are made for the use and interpretation of the Goals Inventory's two subscales and for future research.
