Achievement Orientation in Early Adolescence

Developmental Patterns and Social Correlates

Julie Elmen

Center for the Study of Adolescence Michael Reese Hospital University of Chicago

Early adolescence is an important time during which to examine achievement-related concerns and behavior. In this article the development of several achievement-related phenomena-achievement motivation, fear of success, gender role ideology, and patterns of school performance-are discussed, as well as social correlates of achievement during early adolescence. The importance of considering curvilinear relations among variables is emphasized, especially with regard to developmental hypotheses involving psychological phenomena during adolescence.
