1. A mastery-approach goal orientation has self-improvement and learning as its core focus. The motivation to complete tasks is intrinsic (the pleasure of the task) rather than extrinsic (reward or recognition).
2. A mastery-avoidance goal orientation revolves around preventing failure in acquiring new skills rather than seeking self-improvement.
3. The performance-approach orientation’s focus is on achieving a set extrinsic goal such as a grade on an exam or a top ranking among peers.
4. A person with a performance-avoidance goal orientation will be motivated by the desire to evade embarrassment or public failure.
