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：社会影响力循环


成就目标被定义为能力相关行为的目的。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看待成就目标。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。该回顾使我们能够提出一个关于成就目标影响和成就目标的循环模型：某个社会的典型文化、社会结构和背景塑造了个人制定成就目标的特定环境，这反过来又影响了这些成就目标的表达和在社会中的流通。 在社会影响力周期中。
