Examining the Predictive Relationship Among Identity Development, Achievement Goal Orientation, and Cognitive Complexity in Adolescents
Abstract
This study has been carried out to investigate the relationship among adolescents’ identity developmental, achievement goal orientation, and cognitive complexity. The study group consists of 563 high school students studying in Tekirdağ, of which 258 (45.8%) are female and 305 (54.2%) are male. The data related to the research have been collected using the Identity Development Dimensions Scale, Achievement Goal Orientation Scale, and Cognitive Complexity Scale. According to the findings obtained from the research, a positive linear relationship is observed to exist between adolescents' identity development and the sub-dimension of learning goals orientation and a negative linear relationship to exist between identity development and the sub-dimension of performance goals orientation. When examining the predictive relationships between adolescent identity development and cognitive complexity, they are seen to have a negative linear relationship. When examining the predictive relationships between adolescents’ learning goals orientation and cognitive complexity, they are seen to have a negative linear relationship. When examining the predictive relationships between adolescents' performance goals orientation and cognitive complexity, they are seen to have a positive linear relationship.
