SummaryUsing the trichotomous framework of achievement goals, in the present study I investigated the effects of different combinations of achievement goals on Taiwanese sixth graders` motivation, strategy use, and performance. 242 students completed a self-report survey assessing their achievement goal orientations and a range of outcomes including intrinsic motivation, self-handicapping, and the use of cognitive and metacognitive strategies. I collected students` grades from school records at the end of the semester. Results suggested that mastery goals were positively associated with Taiwanese students` motivation, cognitive engagement, and grades, regardless of their level of performance-approach orientation. Also, results validated the theoretical distinction within performance goals proposed by recently revised goal theory, that is, that performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals may lead to different consequences for motivation, cognition, and achievement. Specifically, performance-approach goals were adaptive in terms of children`s use of cognitive strategies and their grades, whereas performance-avoidance goals were related to students` maladaptive motivation, namely, self-handicapping. Implications for education and future research are discussed.
