Gender Differences in the Factor Structure of the 2x2 Achievement Goal Framework

The present study examined gender differences in null factor structure of null 2x2 achievement goal framework using a multisample invariance analysis. A total of 117 male and 125 female undergraduate teacher education students completed Elliot and Murayama's (2008) Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (AGQ-R). Results provided empirical evidence for null invariant factor structure, factor pattern coefficients, and factor variances-covariances...
