Sažetak
The purpose of the study was to examine whether goal orientations and action-control beliefs differ in students from three different cultures, Croatia, Finland and Japan. It was hypothesized that Japanese students are driven by a motive to self-improve rather than a motive to self-enhance. They will show relatively higher levels of learning orientations and relatively lower levels of performance orientation. They will emphasize effort as the main causal factor influencing school performance and therefore percieve themselves as more persistent and exibiting higher levels of action-related control. The presumption of no marked differences between Croatian and Finnish students was clearly invalidated. Only one of the assumptions concerning mean-level differences between Japanese students and the others held ; Japanese did not show higher levels of learning orientation and lower levels of performace orientation, nor did they score highest on means-ends beliefs of effort.They did, however, display lowest scores on lack of action control.
