Abstract

The present study was accomplished with the purpose of predicting academic achievement based on intelligence beliefs, achievement goals and academic emotions in a causal framework through path analysis. To do this, 231 postgraduate students from Fars Payame Noor University were chosen via simple random sampling and answered to a self-report questionnaire consisted of intelligence beliefs (Dupeyrat & Marine, 2005), achievement goals (Middleton & Midgley, 1997), and academic emotions (Pekrun et al. 2005). The students’ GPA was considered as indicator of academic achievement. The results demonstrated the indirect and different effect of entity and incremental intelligence beliefs on academic achievement. The findings showed that incremental intelligence belief has indirect positive effect on academic achievement through the mediation of mastery goals and positive emotions. Moreover, the entity intelligence belief has indirect negative effect on academic achievement through the mediation of avoidance -performance and approach -performance goals and negative emotions. Also, based on the results, the direct effect of entity intelligence belief on negative emotions was significant; however, the direct effect of incremental intelligence belief on positive emotions was not confirmed.
