N = 345. ASC, ability self-concept; LG, learning goals; P-ApG, performance-approach goals; P-AvG, performance-avoidance goals; WA, work avoidance; HfS, hope for success; FoF, fear of failure; Numerical, numerical intelligence; Math G, math grade; t0, before testing; t2, after testing. Correlations reflecting criterion-related validities are printed in bold. r ≥ ∣0.11∣, p < 0.05. r ≥ ∣0.14∣, p < 0.01. r ≥ ∣0.17∣, p <0.001.
