Abstract

Recent findings indicate that the goals people pursue in social contexts can affect their adjustment and behavior.‪ The purpose of this study was to explore individual factors (social self-efficacy, gender, and scholastic achievements)‪, and contextual factors (peer motivational climate, goal structures, and the size of the social peer group)‪ associated with social goals among students.‪ The participants were 855 middle-school students (7th to 9th grade)‪ sampled from 36 different classes (nine schools)‪ across Israel.‪ Social network analysis revealed 105 peergroups within classes.‪ Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM)‪ indicated a positive association between social self-efficacy and mastery and a performance-approach to social goals.‪ The interaction between social self-efficacy and peer-group size indicated a stronger effect in bigger groups.‪ Peer motivational climate and goal structures were also associated with social goals, as hypothesized.‪ These findings emphasize the importance of social-educational contextual factors for social motivation in adolescents.
