{{Cquote|[[Goal setting|Achievement goals]] have been defined as the purpose of competence-relevant behavior. In this respect they connect one of the basic human needs, i.e., competence, to one of society's core values, i.e., achievement. We propose to look at achievement goals through the lens of social influence. We review both the influence that cultural, structural, and contextual factors have on achievement goal endorsement and the influence that endorsing achievement goals allows people to have within their social space. The review allows us to propose a circular model of the influence on and of achievement goals: The culture, social structures, and contexts that are typical of a certain society shape the specific environments in which individuals develop their achievement goals, which in turn has an influence on the expression and circulation of these achievement goals into society, in a social influence cycle.<ref>[ ''[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37758239/ Achievement Goals: A Social Influence Cycle]'' by Fabrizio Butera, Benoît Dompnier, Céline Darnon, ''Annual Review of Psychology'', 2024 Jan 18:75:527-554. doi: 10.1146/annurev-psych-013123-102139.
