- Abstract
Ruminative thinking is defined as "self-attentiveness motivated by perceived threats, losses, or injustices to the self" (Trapnell and Campbell, 1999:297) while reflexive thinking can be defined as the subject's attitude that is about self-observation and analysis (Çiftçi, 2017). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of ruminative and reflexive thinking styles of the target group under observation on their achievement goal orientations. Additionally, in the study investigates whether the ruminative and reflexive thinking styles and achievement goal orientations of the students differ depending on achievement variables (grade point average and graduation expectancy). The sample of the study consists of 3rd grade and 4th-grade students who are in daytime and evening education and study at business department of the faculty of economics and administrative sciences at a state university in 2017/2018 spring term (N=171). In the study, the participants completed the rumination-reflection questionnaire (Trapnell and Campbell, 1999) and the achievement goal questionnaire (Elliot and McGregor, 2001). The achievements of the students were determined by two variables as self-reported grade point average level and graduation expectancy. As a result of the exploratory factor analyses of the items in the rumination-reflection questionnaire, it was determined that the questionnaire consisted of two factors as self-focused introspective thinking (reflection) and self-focused repetitive negative thinking (rumination), just as they were in the original study (Trapnell and Campbell, 1999). Furthermore, as a result of the factor analysis conducted for the items of the achievement goal questionnaire, 4 factors were acquired (performance-approach, mastery-avoidance, mastery-approach and performance-avoidance), just as the original study (Elliot and McGregor, 2001). As a result of the multiple linear regression analyses, it was determined that the self-focused introspective thinking factor (reflection) had separate effects on performance-approach and mastery-approach factors. According to the independent samples t-test results, it was determined that the ruminative and reflexive thinking styles of the participants did not differ depending on the achievement variables. However, the achievement goal orientations (performance-approach and mastery-approach) of the participants were determined to differ depending on achievement variables.
