The sample group included 435 girls and boys students selected randomly from high schools of Shiraz. Goal orientation scale (Elliot, MacGregor, 2001) and revised version of Koerner-Fitzpatrick Family Communication Patterns scale were used.By using simultaneous multiple regression analysis, the prediction of goal orientations-including mastery approach, mastery avoidance, performance approach and Performance avoidance- by family communication patterns were confirmed.
