Mental health problems are frequent obstacles in medical students’ careers as doctors. Given that previous studies overlook the mediation of stress perception, the current study expanded previous goal orientation researches by addressing an unexplored mechanism. This study aims to examine the mediational roles of stress perception (perceived stressors and stress-related cognition) on the relationship between achievement goal orientation and depression in medical students. A total of 1,015 Chinese 2-year medical students completed a multi-section questionnaire. Hypotheses were examined by structural equation modeling. The findings suggest that performance-avoidance goal orientation and perceived stressors both demonstrated direct facilitative effects on depression, whereas stress-related cognition demonstrated direct obstructive effects on depression. Both perceived stressors and stress-related cognition mediated the relationship between achievement goal orientation and depression. The findings spark a new perspective on motivational intervention that assist students in adopting mastery-approaching strategy as well as ways of coping with stressful academic situations. Identifying students with achievement goal orientation and providing them with the appropriate supportive services may help them to manage stress and mitigate or prevent depression.

The study aimed to investigate how high school students' achievement goal orientation, positive teacher behaviour, classroom engagement, gender and class perceptions are related to chemistry motivation. The research was designed using relational survey model. The sample consisted of 688 high school students. Chemistry motivation questionnaire, achievement goal orientations scale, positive teacher behaviours scale and classroom engagement inventory were used as data collection tools. The correlations between the variables were examined using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results showed that there were positive and significant correlations between chemistry motivation and achievement goal orientations, achievement goal orientations and positive teacher behaviours, classroom engagement and positive teacher behaviours. Negative and significant correlations were also found to exist between achievement goal orientation and classroom engagement, positive teacher behaviours and chemistry motivation. Achievement goal orientations and positive teacher behaviours were also found to be significantly related to class engagement.

The Relationship

Abstract This study proposed and tested a conceptual model of academic expectation stress, sleep quality, and attention in EFL class. These variables did not receive much attention in previous studies but are considered important to medical students’ attention in EFL class. Data were collected from 496 medical students from a medical university in Taiwan. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was used to examine the path effect in the research model. The results found that (1) higher academic expectation stress leads to higher attention in EFL class; (2) higher academic stress causes poorer sleep quality; (3) poorer sleep quality leads to lower attention in EFL class. A mediator was also identified in this model: sleep quality was found to partially mediate the relationship between academic expectation stress and attention in EFL class. The results may advance the current literature in medical education and applied linguistics by moving a step closer to understand these three variables.

Introducción. La meta de logro y el rol de identidad han sido dos constructos que han recibido una gran atención en la investigación de la Psicología Educativa. Sin embargo, la relación entre ambos no ha recibido la atención necesaria. La razón del presente estudio es la escasez de estudios en esta área.Método. La presente investigación se basa en el análisis de medidas de autoinforme relativas al rol de identidad académica establecido en la teoría de Marcia. Una segunda medida, adoptada del esquema triárquico de Elliot sobre la meta de logro, se utiliza para valorar la orientación de logro de los estudiantes. Los datos de los 407 estudiantes universitarios participantes en el estudio fueron sometidos a análisis correlacionales para examinar la relación entre ambos constructos.Resultados. Los resultados señalan que el rol de identidad académica del estudiante está relacionado con el tipo de metas de académicas que éste se propone.Discusión y Conclusiones. Los resultados del análisis apoyan la hipótesis inicial que señala la relación existente entre el rol de identidad académico y los tipos de metas que el estudiante adopta. Se discuten las implicaciones para los educadores y futuras investigaciones.
