The present study was to investigate the reciprocal relationship between achievement goal orientation and academic performance. 215 fourth grade primary school students were accessed at two time waves one year apart. The cross-lagged model revealed that 1) children's performance approach goal and performance avoidance goal was associated with their later academic performance, but the association between performance approach goal and academic performance was no longer significant when entering four subtypes of achievement goal together; 2) academic performance was associated with their later mastery-avoidance goal and performance-avoidance goal; and 3) there existed a reciprocal association between performance-avoidance goal and academic performance.%以215名四年级小学生为被试,进行间隔一年的两次测查,探讨小学生的成就目标定向与学业成绩之间的相互关系.交叉滞后模型发现,(1)成绩接近目标和成绩回避目标对随后的学业成绩具有显著的负向预测作用,但当同时考察四类成就目标与学业成绩的关系时,成绩接近目标的预测作用不再显著;(2)学业成绩对随后的掌握回避目标与成绩回避目标具有稳定的预测作用;(3)成绩回避目标与学习成绩之间存在双向关系.
