Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of scores from the Achievement Goal Questionnaire in samples of Japanese and Canadian postsecondary students. Confirmatory factor-analytic techniques are used. The results of the study provide strong evidence for the four-factor structure of achievement goals in both the Japanese and Canadian populations.
