The purpose of present study was to determine the predictive role of achievement goals and intelligence beliefs associated with assertiveness of second grade girl high school students in the second district of Zahedan.
The research method of this study was correlation- descriptive design. 306 students were selected as sample for this study by Stratified random sampling. Three questionnaires of Assertiveness (Gambrill & Richey, 1975), achievement goals (Midgley, 1998), and intelligence beliefs (Babaie, 1998) were used to collect the information, that their reliability through Cronbach’s Alpha were reported, 0. 80, 0. 93 and 0. 81, respectively. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise regression and one-sample t test was applied.
The results revealed that there was a significant and direct relationship between mastery goals and approach- performance with assertiveness. Meanwhile, avoidant-performance was not significantly related to assertiveness. Also, the findings of this study demonstrated that two types of entity intelligence beliefs and incremental intelligence had a significant and reverse relationship with assertiveness.
the results of this research illustrates that approach- performance goal and incremental intelligence belief can predict the assertiveness of students.
