回避目标定向与反馈寻求行为 —— 角色冲突的调节作用

考察回避目标定向(掌握回避目标定向和成绩回避目标定向)与反馈寻求行为之间的关系, 以及角色冲突对上述关系的调节作用。以240 名北京大学一年级的本科新生为研究对象, 这些新生在刚入学时报告了他们的回避目标定向, 间隔6 个月后, 报告了角色冲突的程度和反馈寻求行为。研究结果表明: 1) 掌握回避目标定向对反馈寻求行为具有显著的负向预测作用; 2) 角色冲突对反馈寻求行为具有显著的正向预测作用; 3) 角色冲突能够调节掌握回避目标定向与反馈寻求行为之间的关系, 具体表现为, 角色冲突程度越高, 掌握回避目标定向与反馈寻求行为的负相关关系越强。研究验证了回避目标定向的二因素模型, 对于新生入学适应具有一定的实践意义。

How Avoidance Goal Orientation Affects Feedback Seeking:Role Conflict as a Moderator

The relationship between avoidance goal orientation and feedback-seeking behavior was examined, with role conflict as a moderator of the relationship. Participants were 240 freshmen from Peking University. When the freshmen first enrolled, they reported their avoidance goal orientation. Six months later, they rated their role conflict and feedback seeking. The results revealed that 1) mastery avoidance goal orientation was negatively related to feedback seeking; 2) role conflict was positively related to feedback seeking; 3) role conflict moderated the relationship between mastery avoidance goal orientation and feedback seeking. Specifically, mastery avoidance goal orientation and feedback seeking were more negatively related under higher role conflict. The results suggest a two-factor model of avoidance goal orientation. Applications for freshmen management are discussed.
