{"pk":27144,"title":"The Interplay Between Self-evaluation, Goal Orientation, and Self-efficacy onPerformance and Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Objective Self-awareness Theory (Duval & Wicklund,1972) proposes that self-evaluation increases an individual’sawareness of any discrepancy between their currentperformance and an internal goal. In the current study weprompted self-evaluation throughout an intelligence test(Analysis-Synthesis Test – AST) using confidence ratings(CR). AST performance, the extent to which participantsincidentally learnt task-relevant rules (learning rules wasunnecessary because they were provided), self-efficacy, andgoals, were assessed. The results indicated an effect ofperforming CR on both performance and rule learning, butthe effect depended on self-efficacy. Compared to matchedcontrols (n=45), participants who performed CR (n=41) andhad high self-efficacy performed better on the AST butlearnt fewer rules. Performing CR had no effect onparticipants low in self-efficacy. This suggests that self-evaluation interacts with self-efficacy to modifyparticipants’ goals, specifically CR appear to shiftindividuals high in self-efficacy from a mastery goal to aperformance goal.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Reasoning"},{"word":"Intelligence"},{"word":"reactivity"},{"word":"goalorientation"},{"word":"Self-Efficacy"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/17w0g34r","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kit","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"Double","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Damian","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Birney","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27144/galley/16780/download/"}]}
