学生学术发展的成长方法越来越受到关注，包括增值模型、学术轨迹建模、成长动机取向、成长心态和成长目标。本研究旨在探讨关于智力的内隐理论（增量理论和实体理论）和成长（个人最佳，PB）目标之间的关系，并对因素在时间上的排序特别感兴趣。本研究集中于969名澳大利亚高中生的纵向数据。方法采用经典的交叉滞后面板设计（使用结构方程模型），揭示时间1增长目标、增量理论和实体理论相对于时间2（1年后）增长目标、增量理论和实体理论的顺序。结果Time 1成长目标对Time 2增量理论有正向预测，对实体理论有负向预测；时间1实体理论和增量理论分别负向预测时间2增量理论和实体理论；但是，时间1增量理论和实体理论不能预测时间2的增长目标。结论实体理论和增量理论在时间上呈负相关，但增长目标在方向上比增量理论和实体理论更显著。讨论了促进增长目标和增长心态的含义。
BackgroundThere has been increasing interest in growth approaches to students' academic development, including value-added models, modelling of academic trajectories, growth motivation orientations, growth mindsets, and growth goals.AimsThis study sought to investigate the relationships between implicit theories about intelligence (incremental and entity theories) and growth (personal best, PB) goals - with particular interest in the ordering of factors across time.SampleThe study focused on longitudinal data of 969 Australian high school students.MethodThe classic cross-lagged panel design (using structural equation modelling) was employed to shed light on the ordering of Time 1 growth goals, incremental theories, and entity theories relative to Time 2 (1year later) growth goals, incremental theories, and entity theories.ResultsFindings showed that Time 1 growth goals predicted Time 2 incremental theories (positively) and entity theories (negatively); Time 1 entity and incremental theories negatively predicted Time 2 incremental and entity theories respectively; but, Time 1 incremental theories and entity theories did not predict growth goals at Time 2.ConclusionThis suggests that entity and incremental theories are negatively reciprocally related across time, but growth goals seem to be directionally salient over incremental and entity theories. Implications for promoting growth goals and growth mindsets are discussed.
