Work avoidance appears to induce passive coping, which prevents students from engaging in the tasks.

The trichotomous goal orientation model focusses on motivated students and investigates the effects of their reasons for being motivated. In these models, work avoidance is not considered as a type of motivation and is not included e. Since motivation can also result in the intentional omission of an action Gredler, , we assume that a reduction in effort as indicated by a lack of cardiac activation Lackner et al. The results also have implications for learning, instruction, and diagnosis of learning difficulties.

Counseling or coaching, in case of learning difficulties, should take dysfunctional goal orientations, such as work avoidance into account. Also, teachers and instructors should be aware of goal orientations such as dispositions and take them into consideration when designing instruction, developing tests, or concerning the support they provide King and McInerney, The results recommend reducing tenseness in those students scoring high on performance-avoidance in test situations e.

As mentioned, further research should consider a setting with higher ecological validity that offers the possibilty to trigger approach- as well as avoidance-related goal orientations.

Approach and Avoidance Motivation and Goal Orientations Motivation can be described as the energization and direction of behavior toward a stimulus Elliot and Church, ; Wigfield et al.

Goal Orientations and Coping With Stressful Academic Situations Generally, approach goal orientations are associated with engagement, active coping tendencies, and the mobilization of energy in case of difficulties Roth and Cohen, ; Dweck and Leggett, ; Fields and Prinz, ; Compas et al.

Methodological Issues in Investigating Goal Orientations The influence of goal orientations on emotional or motivational states, effort, or learning strategies has to date mostly been investigated by self-report methods e. Research Questions and Methodology of the Present Study The present study investigated firstly and foremost to which degree goal orientations as dispositions are related to the actual relative activation of the approach, respectively, avoidance motivational system in an achievement context, that is, while participants were anticipating statistics tasks.

Materials and Methods Participants Sixty-two psychology students completed the experiment with all required data 12 men and 50 women. Measurement of Tenseness Participants assessed their tenseness before the start of the experiment as well as after completing the tasks by a standardized, verbally anchored point bipolar rating scale for mood and feelings KUSTA; Binz and Wendt, Subjective Ratings In order to assess the influence of other individual and task-related characteristics, upon completion, participants rated their perception of the overall difficulty of the tasks as well as regarding how hard they had tried to solve them.

Higher negative values of the EEG alpha asymmetry response denote a greater relative increase of right- versus left-sided brain activity inverse of alpha , i. Higher positive values denote relative activation of approach versus avoidance motivation. Table 4 Goal orientations regressed on tenseness before and after task completion. Discussion The present study investigated to which degree the four types of goal orientations as dispositions are related to the actual relative activation of the approach versus avoidance motivational system in a performance challenge situation.

Implications and Limitations of the Study The results have implications for future research strategies, as they emphasize the benefits of a combination of data gained by self-reports and validated physiological measures.
