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.

成就目标：社会影响循环


成就目标被定义为与能力相关的行为的目的。在这方面，他们将人类的基本需求之一（即能力）与社会的核心价值观之一（即成就）联系起来。我们建议通过社会影响力的视角来审视成就目标。我们回顾了文化、结构和背景因素对成就目标认可的影响，以及认可成就目标允许人们在其社会空间内产生的影响。通过审查，我们可以提出一个关于成就目标的影响和成就目标的循环模型：特定社会的典型文化、社会结构和背景塑造了个人制定成就目标的特定环境，而成就目标反过来又影响着个人的成就目标。在社会影响循环中影响这些成就目标在社会中的表达和流通。
